The Return (1997)
~EN USISBN: 9780451407290 bzw. 0451407296, vermutlich in Englisch, Onyx Books, gebraucht, guter Zustand.

Von Händler/Antiquariat, Infinity Books Japan.
Onyx Books, 1997. Good. From recent novels, you'd think the Vatican was in the business of slaying souls, not saving them. Like Dan Cushman's Visitation (Forecasts, Jan. 18, 1995), this pseudonymous thriller?the 16th by the author but the first to b e published under this pen name?depicts powers in Rome sending an assassin to deal with a troublesome problem. The problem here is a whopper: a man wh o claims to be "Jesus Returned," and who seems to be performing miracles, i ncluding a modified version of the fish and the loaves and a resurrection o f the dead, to prove it. When word of the new Jesus begins to spread, the V atican hires a Sicilian hit man to halt his rising popularity and to end hi s diatribes against church corruption. In the U.S., meanwhile, some Catholi cs employ Brian Sheridan, a religious scholar working in a New York booksto re while on sabbatical from the priesthood, to trace the origins of the mys terious messiah. Sheridan hooks up professionally, then romantically, with Marie Olivier, a freelance journalist; together, the two slowly uncover the conspiracy behind Jesus Returned. De Mers's storytelling is competent, but a proliferation of subplots diffuses some of the suspense, and credibility is strained to the breaking point not only by the overwrought scenes of Va tican intrigue but also by the nature of the conspiracy.
