A French Da Vinci Code by bestselling novelist and philosophy professor Eliette Abécassis.

The remains of a man, dating back two-thousand years, are discovered in a Japanese sanctuary in Kyoto. He lived in Tibet before being mysteriously transported there. His fingers clutch a fragment of a Hebrew manuscript.

Ary Cohen is asked by the Israeli secret services to find the truth about this man who was assassinated under the strangest of circumstances.

From Israel to Japan, where he becomes expert of the art of fighting, through Tibet where he learns Buddhist meditation techniques, Ary discovers that Japan’s founding religion – Shintoism – is a direct descendant of the Hebrew religion. This startling revelation brings him closer to solving the mystery of the ancient body and the manuscript.

Already pursuing a quest strewn with mystery, danger and initiation, Ary is also searching for Jane, the woman for whom he chose to leave the Essenes, a Jewish mystical sect renowned for its healing powers.

The Last tribe is a captivating thriller as well as a spiritual adventure exploring the mysteries of Judaism and Tibetan and Japanese Buddhism.
