Nine people have been slain in New York City—nine
strangers with nothing in common—the apparent victims of a
frighteningly elusive serial killer. Only one thing links
the dead: postcards they received, mailed from Las Vegas,
announcing the day they would die.
Assigned to the case is a legendary FBI profiler with a
troubled past, a drinking problem, and nothing left to
lose . . .
Abandoned to a monastery is an unwanted son born under a
curse on the seventh day of the seventh month of the year
777 . . .
Unprepared for a momentous discovery is a post-World War
II expedition into the crypts of a clandestine medieval
society . . .
. . . but all lead to a secret embroiled in destiny,
history, evil, faith, and corruption . . . and one
terrifying truth that no one must ever know . . .
