IN JAZZ AGE NEW YORK, LOVE, CRIME, AND MYSTERY INTERTWINE AS A FORMER ACTOR IS DRAWN INTO A SECRET SOCIETY OF PERFORMERS HONORING THE ANCIENT GOD OF THEATER

Amidst the glitz and glamour of New York's jazz age and the shadowy underworld of Prohibition, a hidden society of actors gathers to pay homage to Dionysus, the ancient deity of Theater. Their clandestine rituals, shrouded in secrecy, demand the enactment of timeless tragedies performed exclusively for their own eyes.

Former actor Thomas Barese, lured back into the spotlight by his lifelong friend, finds himself thrust into this enigmatic society on the eve of a fateful performance of Shakespeare's iconic "Romeo and Juliet." As Thomas takes the stage once more, unexpectedly rediscovering a love he had long believed lost, Shakespeare's work takes on a life of its own. However, the novice harbors a secret as fascinating as the haunting dynamics of the mysterious fraternity.

MUKUROB is a contemporary novel that takes you on a thought-provoking journey deep into the roots of humankind. 

When young Catholic priest David Callaghan is devastated by the brutal murder of his childhood friend at the hands of extremists, he begins to question the course of the human odyssey. In his search for answers, he stumbles across an article about the identification of the most ancient humans on Earth—the San people of the Kalahari Desert. This discovery ignites a journey that leads him to take a sabbatical from the priesthood and join an anthropological mission in Africa.

Amid the vast expanse of the desert, David becomes entangled with an eclectic group of scientists, where murder and romance intertwine in an unpredictable exploit. As he seeks to understand why humanity has gone astray, the inevitable clash of beliefs forces the priest to deeply question what it means to stay true to oneself.
