Description

International cable TV journalist Charlotte Ansari and her Asperger's son are caught literally in the crossfire of history when terrorists, the CIA, Mossad (Israeli intelligence) and the Vatican all converge in a pulse-pounding search for two relics that could eviscerate Christianity and forever change the balance of power in the world. Three decades ago, Charlotte's mother suddenly vanished with no trace. The mystery was never solved. Then suddenly, on the same day that Charlotte's home is attacked by terrorists, her son receives an email from the grandmother that he has never known.

The coded message catapults Charlotte and her son on a dangerous mission to India and Kashmir to find the only objects that can save the old woman's life. Unfortunately, Charlotte and her autistic son don't know what they are looking for. The Shekinah Legacy is a thriller in the tradition of Dan Brown, Steve Berry and James Rollins. In this provocative novel, author Gary Lindberg uses the form of the thriller to explore the limits and perils of belief.

★★★★★ "The Shekinah Legacy" is a well-written thriller in the style of Dan Brown where long-held religious beliefs are turned upside down and challenged. The story is filled with the twists and turns that make a novel great, and its plotline continues believably through each revelation as the reader finds out which characters can be trusted and which ones are expendable. The story's ending is meant to be a shocker and it is, concluding a very well crafted story. (Alice D. for Reader's Favorite)

★★★★★ Charlotte Ansari has hunted the big stories around the globe. Then in one week she becomes the hunted. Or are the secret societies that re chasing her throughout India after someone else? Gary Lindberg's debut novel "The Shekinah Legacy" will please fans of Dan Brown and James Rollins. Fascinating subplots bring together an unusual cast of characters, all searching for the same things with startlingly different reasons. This is a book not to be put down until you've read the last page. (Cynthia Kraack, author of
Minnesota Cold and the Ashwood Trilogy

Review
Mix one international cable news correspondent, an Asperger’s teenager, a long-term MIA mother, a bestselling author, a professional assassin, a valuable relic and a host of worldwide organizations that want it… and what do you have… one hell of a riveting action-packed suspense thriller!

Review
Wow, this book kept me up nights until I could finish it – the first time through. The second time I took it a bit slower and spent hours on the computer verifying the historical facts. Haven’t done that since The Da Vinci Code… This book is an action thriller and a novel of international intrigue. But the book is also a fascinating study of family drama. A second reading made me aware of, and appreciate, the depth of the writing.

Review
The action is fast paced with the various plots all working together to help create the story. Lindberg has done a lot of research into the places that are visited in the book and into the religious questions that arise in the book. The reading of the book as led me to do further research into some of the groups and questions that appear in it.
