The last tribe
Why has the body of a man murdered two thousand years ago in Tibet turned up today in a Shinto temple in Kyoto?
Why is he holding a fragment of a Qumran manuscript in his hand?
Who had an interest in its discovery?
Commissioned by the Israeli special services to unravel the mystery, Ary Cohen finds himself thrown into the most perilous mission ever entrusted to him.
A thriller as much as a spiritual adventure, The Last Tribe explores the mysteries of Judaism and Tibetan and Japanese Buddhism. Erudition, intelligence and invention: with the talent of a great novelist and the sense of intrigue of a master of suspense, Eliette Abécassis plays with sacred texts, religions, history and time.
