Brought together by fate a beautiful Mossad agent and a hard-boiled dectective elude the Illuminati and follow a trail that leads them from The Vatican to an orphanage in Chicago and a boy who holds the key. Shapeshifters,a Golem,ambigrams,mind-control Psyops,black helos--Dean Koontz thrills meet Umberto Eco occult thriller.
Mr. Weber’s, DARK PROTOCOLS, is fast paced, exciting, thrilling, and awfully chilling. What I loved most about this novel were the characters and the mysterious plot. They both kept me guessing throughout the entire novel, and I must admit I never guessed right. My favorite character is THE OTHER, a combination of bad & good, but I’ll not tell who or what the other is. Best to read it. Josey and Sam, of course, were wonderful. And I’d say they’re perfect for each other, smart a**’s the both of them. Very enjoyable! I also loved hating the bad guy (s). Can't wait to read the next one...I'm thinking maybe something to do with Turin, Joesy, and Sam. Overall, a fine, entertaining read that I’m glad I didn’t miss.

A fast paced but intellectual psycho thriller.
Written in the tradition of cross-genre horror: Euro-thriller and a splash of Horror.
Plot driven but the characters were fleshed out. Could make an interesting series.
