It highlights the obscurity surrounding these figures, who exist both in the world and within the Christian community, raising questions about their true nature and significance. The author critiques the lack of theological focus on these parables by religious leaders, inviting readers to reconsider their meanings and implications for faith and salvation.

Call-girl de luxe, Nicole Bass n’avait a priori rien à craindre de Michael Onorati, avocat et expert-comptable. Mais Onorati travaillait pour le clan Gambino et son parrain, Vincente Genero. Après avoir volé de l'argent, il est assassiné sous les yeux de Nicole, qui s'échappe avec une valise pleine de dollars et une disquette compromettante. Elle devient alors la cible à abattre. Jack Kirby, inspecteur à l’Usco du NYPD, est déterminé à retrouver Nicole, considérée comme un témoin clé contre Genero. Pour Kirby, la police est tout depuis la mort de sa fille, et il a juré de venger sa perte. Trouver Nicole pourrait lui permettre de la sauver, bien qu’elle ait des compétences de défense impressionnantes, suggérant un passé plus complexe qu’un simple top model. La course pour la retrouver s'engage entre Kirby et Genero. Ce thriller captivant regorge d'éléments classiques : New York, des criminels pittoresques, des flics aux motivations variées, du suspense, des courses-poursuites et de l'humour. L’intrigue est parfaitement construite, soutenue par une écriture précise et efficace. Les droits ont été achetés par Quentin Tarantino, qui a du pain sur la planche pour adapter ce récit dense et exceptionnel. Le thème, bien que classique, est sublimé par l’auteur, faisant de cette œuvre un incontournable pour comprendre le fonctionnement du NYPD.
