Book description
The most shocking secret in the history of mankind is about to be
revealed ...
A murderer is on the loose on the streets of New York City:
nicknamed the Doomsday Killer, he's claimed six victims in just two
weeks, and the city is terrified. Even worse, the police are
mystified: the victims have nothing in common, defying all profiling,
and all that connects them is that each received a sick postcard in
the mail before they died - a postcard that announced their date of
death. In desperation, the FBI assigns the case to maverick agent Will
Piper, once the most accomplished serial killing expert in the
bureau's history, now on a dissolute spiral to retirement.
Battling his own demons, Will is soon drawn back into a world he
both loves and hates, determined to catch the killer whatever it
takes. But his search takes him in a direction he could never have
predicted, uncovering a shocking secret that has been closely guarded
for centuries. A secret that once lay buried in an underground library
beneath an 8th Century monastery, but which has now been unearthed -
with deadly consequences. A select few defend the secret of the
library with their lives - and as Will closes in on the truth, they
are determined to stop him, at any cost ...
