Title: The Eighth Veil Subtitle: A Jerusalem Mystery Author: Frederick Ramsay Narrator: Robin Field Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 02-07-12 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Historical Publisher's Summary: The Eighth Veil is a mystery set in first-century Jerusalem during the Feast of Tabernacles. A murdered servant girl is found in the palace of King Herod Antipas. The prefect, Pontius Pilate, is in attendance. The populace has already been buzzing over the brutal death of one of their prophets, John, known familiarly as the Baptizer, and scandal is in the air. Pilate wants no trouble and insists that there be an independent investigation into the murder. But Antipas will have none of Pilates men in the palace, and Pilate doesnt trust Antipas. So Pilate turns to Gamaliel, the chief rabbi and head of the Sanhedrin, and coerces him to do the detective work. Gamaliel is a Talmudic scholar, not a sleuth, and he at first struggles; however, he is soon won over to the assignment as he learns more of the dead girls background and that of the other major players in the drama, particularly Antipas foster brother, Menahem. Soon, Gamaliel, in Sherlockian fashion, begins to fit the pieces together, or, as his Watson Loukas says, strips the veils from his personal Salome. Pilate, in spite of his impatience with the pace and direction of the investigation, is rewarded when it turns out that the girl is not the mere servant that everyone had assumed. Meanwhile, the Battle of Actium and the fascinating histories of Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, Herod the Great, Mark Antony, and Augustus Caesar become critically entwined with the investigation. And the figure of Jesus, the rabbi from Nazareth, with his ragged band of enthusiasts and his habit of annoying Caiaphas, the High Priest, moves enigmatically in the background. Critic Reviews: Ramsay skillfully weaves historical fact into his story, all the while blending brisk action with excellent characterization. (Publishers Weekly on (Stranger Room)
