Charlson Ong's White Lady, Black Christ is a religious, cross-cultural thriller set in the heart of Quiapo — home to the frenzied devotion surrounding the Black Nazarene. When an explosion occurs outside Dr. Chester Limhuatco's condominium, a chain of events leads him to Emily, the "white lady" he has been having visions of. To uncover her identity, he enlists former classmate Jefferson Po, a government agent with ties to Emily — and together they pursue the mystery of her involvement with Tata Peping, a modern-day "Itim na Nazareno," or Black Christ. A high-stakes pursuit of the truth behind a strange brotherhood and the rituals of blind devotion, this is a conspiracy that could shake the foundations of faith — told by a masterful storyteller.
