When Detective Nic Costa arrives at the scene, he is
unprepared for what he finds, or for the ambush that
leaves his only witness vanished into the night. The dead
woman was American. Within hours, U.S. agents descend with
a take-no-prisoners style and a shocking story to tell:
the killer has struck before, in monuments all over the
world, leaving the same cryptic message carved onto the
bodies of the victims.
But one agent, beautiful, blond Emily Deacon, has yet
another story to tell Nic–about a stunning act of
deception that may lead back to the U.S. government, and
her own chilling, personal connection to the killer. Now,
as the first murder leads to more grisly slayings and a
motley crew of veteran Roman cops jousts with the
Americans, Nic is pulled into a woman’s harrowing search
for the truth…a search that will take them both into the
mind of a madman, into a shocking conspiracy–and into a
dark episode in a nation’s long-forgotten past.
