White Lady, Black Christ

by Charlson Ong

A thriller involving a religious cross-cultural conspiracy that could shake the foundations of faith. When an explosion occurs across Dr. Chester Limhuatco’s condominium building, events unfold leading to his discovery of Emily, the “white lady” he has been having visions of. To discover her identity, he enlists the help of former classmate Jefferson Po, a government agent working closely with Emily.

Chester and Jefferson pursue the mystery surrounding Emily and her ties with Tata Peping, a modern day black Christ who heads the cult-like Brotherhood of the Blessed Black Nazarene or the BBN, a group with a grand plan to violently awaken people from supposed lies they have been told all their lives. Together, Chester and Jefferson must stop Tata Peping from achieving his nefarious goal.

Set in Quiapo, the heart of the frenzled veneration of the Black Nazarene, White Lady, Black Christ is a high-stakes pursuit of the truth behind a strange brotherhood and the rituals surrounding blind devotion and the search for salvation as told by a masterful storyteller.
