DAY OF WRATH

Otho Eskin’s DAY OF WRATH is a sophisticated thriller which effectively blends genuine historical research into a modern crime story. From the very first page, tension is felt when Detective Marko Zorn is called to investigate a case involving a potential future pope who has just been found dead on his cathedral floor with a strange tarot card. Examining the corruptibility of children and institutional corruption, Eskin skillfully maintains a relentless but unrushed pace while alternating between action and investigative scenes. Here, police procedural investigation is combined with religious conspiracy elements.
