Leonard Rosen

All Cry Chaos, a debut thriller by the immensely gifted Leonard Rosen, is a masterful and gripping tale that literally reaches for the heavens. The action begins when mathematician James Fenster is assassinated on the eve of a long-scheduled speech at a World Trade Organization meeting. The hit is as elegant as it is bizarre. Fenster's Amsterdam hotel room is incinerated, yet the rest of the building remains intact. The murder trail leads veteran Interpol agent Henri Poincare on a high-stakes, world-crossing quest for answers. Together with his chain-smoking, bon vivant colleague Serge Laurent, Poincare pursues a long list of suspects: the Peruvian leader of the Indigenous Liberation Front, Rapture-crazed militants, a hedge fund director, Fenster's elusive ex-fiance, and a graduate student in mathematics. Poincare begins to make progress in America, but there is a prodigious hatred trained on him --some unfinished business from a terrifying former genocide case-- and he is called back to Europe to face the unfathomable. Stripped down and in despair, tested like Job, he realizes the two cases might be connected and he might be the link.

A Sequence for Academic Writing

Achter elk patroon gaat een geheim schuil Waarom lijkt het patroon van een bliksemschicht op dat van nerven van een blad, de takken aan een boom of de aderen in een hand? Is dat toeval? Niet volgens wiskundigen. Zij zien orde waar voor anderen chaos heerst. Ook niet volgens Interpolagent Henri Poincaré. Hij moet patronen bestuderen om een leven te redden, een dood te wreken en een gruwelijke moord op te lossen. In Poincarés wereld roepen evangelisten om de Apocalyps, koelen terroristen hun woede met bommen en hebben oorlogsmisdadigers het voorzien op zijn eigen familie. Wanhopig en tot het uiterste getergd realiseert Poincaré zich dat de chaos van deze zaak beheerst wordt door verbanden die hij nooit had vermoed.
