So, picture this: there's this guy, code name Pilgrim, but here's the kicker – he doesn't exist. Yeah, you heard me right. This guy is as mysterious as it gets. He was taken in by a rich American family and supposedly used to be the big shot in a super secret spy unit for the good ol' US of A. But now, he's vanished into the depths of retirement, living a life of anonymity.
But, hold on tight, because things are about to get real interesting. See, Pilgrim is actually the mastermind behind a groundbreaking book on forensic criminal investigation. And guess what? This book, believe it or not, is going to come back to bite him in the you-know-what.
That's when our trusty NYPD detective, Ben Bradley, enters the scene. Armed with Pilgrim's book, he's on a mission to track down this enigmatic character. Oh, and did I mention there's a murder involved? Yeah, it's not just any murder though – this one is straight out of a horror flick. A woman, completely disfigured, floating in a tub filled with acid. No features, no fingerprints, no teeth. It's like a textbook murder, and guess who wrote the textbook? You got it – Pilgrim himself.
What starts off as a mind-bending investigation quickly spirals into a heart-pounding race against the clock. America's fate hangs in the balance, and it's up to Pilgrim to step up and save the day. But, buckle up folks, because this ain't your average hero's journey. PILGRIM is about to embark on a wild ride that'll take you from a public beheading in Mecca to eerie ruins nestled along the lush Turkish coast. We're even throwing in a detour to a Nazi death camp in Alsace and the rugged Hindu Kush wilderness – just to keep things interesting.
Why is PILGRIM going through all this trouble, you ask? Well, he's hunting down a man without a face. And this man, fueled by his twisted beliefs, intends to unleash a staggering act of mass murder in the name of his God. It's a high-stakes game, my friends, and the clock is ticking. So, grab your popcorn, buckle up, and get ready to listen as Christopher Ragland narrates Terry Hayes' thrilling masterpiece - PILGRIM. Trust me, folks, this one's a real gem.
