What's it about? Should I bother getting it from the library? And do they make Lubavitchers look like a bunch of lunatics?

"It is about a journelist uncovering some sort of plot connected with the 36 hidden tzaddikem. He goes to ch, (I think his wife gets kidnapped) and is wondering what the heck all these yellow flags are, and why the women have such tidy hairstyles. Everyone is telling him all about the Rebbe, who he can't wait to meet because he is sure the Rebbe can help him. About halfway through the book he realizes the rebbe is no longer alive.

Their is also a dropout lubavitch girl (his ex-girlfriend) involved."
