he stars move still, time runs, the clock will strike, The
Devil will come, and Faustus must be damned. These enigmatic
lines from Christopher Marlowe’s play Doctor Faustus may
hold the key to a shocking, centuries-old truth in the
thrilling new novel by internationally best-selling author
Glenn Cooper.
Elisabetta Celestino, a brilliant young archaeologist at
work in Rome’s ancient catacombs, has discovered a unique
pattern of astrological symbols on an underground wall.
She feels sure that evidence of a previously unknown
pre-Christian sect lies in an adjacent chamber where the
untombed skeletons bear a strange anomaly, and is devastated
when the Vatican refuses to support her excavation project.
Ten years later, a cave-in damages the vault, and a shocking
discovery is made. Following a violent and traumatic event,
Elisabetta has left has left archaeology behind for the
serenity of prayer and teaching, but the young nun
unexpectedly finds herself in a race to solve the secret of
the catacomb and prevent an apocalyptic event that threatens
not only the Vatican but the future of mankind. Moving
between present-day Europe, 1st-century Rome, and
Elizabethan England, The Devil Will Come is an exhilarating
tale of a battle between good and evil that has been fought
in the shadows through the centuries and across
continents—and that both sides are willing to kill to keep
secret.
