Step forward God, universally accepted by believers as all powerful and so able to natter with the dead and the living at will.

Dead Wringers, the final book in the Ratskull Trilogy, not only takes modern satire to new levels, but has a riveting plot line, stuffed with fascinating research. Humour, suspense, great originality and astonishing facts, what?s not to like.

En un viatge llampec a l'octubre de 1940, Heinrich Himmler visita l'abadia de Montserrat. L'acompanya l'historiador alemany Walter Ebert, que es converteix en còmplice involuntari d'una venjança d'inspiració bíblica que sentenciarà el poble jueu.
