Some sins can’t be forgiven… because some sins no one
survives.
New York Times bestselling author
Kay Hooper has touched our darkest fears but none so dark
as in her latest thriller. Here’s a psychopath who lures
his victims with a promise no one can resist…and demands a
price no one would knowingly pay.
Young,
vulnerable, attractive, Tessa Gray made the perfect
victim. Which was why Noah Bishop of the FBI’s Special
Crimes Unit recruited her to play the role of grieving
widow. As the supposed new owner of property coveted by
the Church of the Everlasting Sin, she’d be irresistible
bait for the reclusive and charismatic Reverend Samuel.
His fortified compound in the mountains near Grace, North
Carolina, had been the last known residence of two women
murdered in ways that defied scientific
explanation.
Though hardly as naive or as
vulnerable as she appears, Tessa knows she has a lot to
learn about using her unique gift. She also knows that
Bishop and the SCU have to be desperate to rely on an
untried psychic agent in an undercover operation so
dangerous. And desperate they are. For the killer they’re
hunting is the most terrifying they’ve ever faced and
shakes even the most seasoned agents: a soulless
megalomaniacal cult leader who can use their own weapons,
talents, and tactics against them.
By entering the
cult’s well-guarded compound, Tessa will be exposing
herself to the dark magnetism of a psychopath on an
apocalyptic crusade of terror that spares no one, not even
the youngest victims. And Samuel has protected himself
within a fanatically loyal congregation, many of whom
occupy surprising positions of power within the community.
Even Grace’s chief of police, Sawyer Cavenaugh—a man Tessa
will have to trust with her life—may be unable to protect
her. Because no one, not even Tessa herself, can guarantee
she’s strong enough to resist—or powerful enough to battle—
a killer who’s less than human.
