Charlotte Asari is a famous and totally fearless reporter for CNN who had travelled to remote and forbidding places in the world with her photographer Curt. Now, in the comforts of her Minnesota home, she, her less than beloved husband Mike, and their twelve year old son, Greg, who suffers from Asperger's, are under attack from Islamic terrorists who are killed at her doorstep by Mossad assassins who in turn are slaughtered by someone else. Who is this ruthless, silent killer and is he stalking or protecting Charlotte and her son? The silent killer's name is Gideon, and as Charlotte and Greg make their way to India to find her famous father, Thompson Walker, Gideon does indeed protect Charlotte in the many twists and turns in this book. He is an Essene, a secret and highly lethal group that has existed for two thousand years. Charlotte is on a mission to "locate the savior", words sent in an email to Greg by Charlotte's mother Miriam. There is a theory that Jesus travelled to India during the lost years of his youth and that he survived the crucifixion, and his bones are hidden in a remote area of India. Rogue agents from all sides are killed or sidelined. "The Shekinah Legacy" takes meaning from Shekinah which designates the mysterious light that shows the presence of God. But when Charlotte finds that her beloved Greg is the Shekinah Legacy, what will she do?
"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.
