"Written in a mood of total austerity; and yet the passion of the
book is perpetually beating up against its seemingly barren
surface...I am deeply moved." -Philip Roth
During the early weeks of the Korean War, Captain Lee, a young
South Korean officer, is ordered to investigate the kidnapping and
mass murder of North Korean ministers by Communist forces. For
propaganda purposes, the priests are declared martyrs, but as he
delves into the crime, Lee finds himself asking: What if they were
not martyrs? What if they renounced their faith in the face of
death, failing both God and country? Should the people be fed this
lie? Part thriller, part mystery, part existential treatise, "The
Martyred" is a stunning meditation on truth, religion, and faith in
times of crisis.
