The Righteous Men by Sam Bourne
The Righteous Men by Sam Bourne is a blistering high-concept serial killer thriller combined with delicious religious conspiracy theory. Dubbed as the Jewish Da Vinci Code, this fast paced novel follows the cryptic trail of rookie journalist, Will Monroe as he unravels secrets worth killing for and on which the fate of humanity may depend.
Comedian Jason Manford provides a plot synopsis for us whilst on holiday in Humber Valley, Newfoundland, Canada. Joining Richard & Judy in the studio to discuss their thoughts on the book are ex-EastEnders and Doctor Who actress, Tracy–Ann Oberman and writer Danny Wallace. We will also hear from our own reviewers who are holidaying on a narrow boat on the Grand Union Canal in Warwickshire and have taken The Righteous Men away with them as their Summer Read.
