Jeffrey Deaver- The Goodbye Man

from Speaking of Writers · host Steve Richards

About the Book: The Osiris Foundation is located in a vast rural area near the beautiful but remote Snoqualmie Gap in Washington State. It bills itself as a faith-based organization that helps troubled people overcome addiction and other problems. Its enigmatic and charismatic leader is known only “Master Eli,” who claims to have cheated death and become a prophet for a new age. But just who is this strange man and what hypnotic power does he hold over his flock? Shaw is drawn to the Osiris Foundation when he tracks down two young men who have been charged with a hate crime. Both of them are on their way to the cult’s compound when Shaw finds them, and when one of them kills himself rather that get captured, and the other refuses to reveal any details about where they are headed, Shaw knows what he must do: It’s time to go undercover. Adopting a false identity, Shaw poses as a new Osiris recruit to unlock the secrets lurking deep within their walls. But, as he’ll soon find out, this is a cult whose members are willing to kill to keep outsiders from learning what they are up to. And worse still, Master Eli even controls local law enforcement, so Shaw will be totally alone in this mission. That’s how powerful this cult is.
