Suspense

Roman Catholic priest Daniel Byrne served for 10 years as a top level Vatican investigator until he exposed something that changed his faith -- and life -- forever. When Daniel's uncle, Tim Trinity, con man/evangelist, started speaking in tongues and making predictions of future events that proved 100% accurate, the clandestine Council for World Peace did everything it could to discredit him. Members of the Fleurde-Lis Foundation tried to help Daniel protect his uncle, but the Council eventually assassinated Trinity. Both the Council and the FI Foundation have operatives embedded in every aspect of religion, education, military, government, law enforcement and media. However, their intentions and goals are not the same. In Daniel's quest to learn the truth behind his uncle's death and the disreputable business of the Council, he leaves the priesthood. Daniel is soon recruited by the Fleurde-Lis Foundation to train as an operative for them. Infiltrating one of the Council's hidden facilities, Daniel confirms that a new strain of the plague has been created and tested on a human with the hope of generating bizarre side effects. Those side effects, known as Anomalous Information Transfer (AIT), are a phenomenon that has been happening to thousands of people worldwide, increasing during times of excessive chaos. Controlling AIT would have staggering repercussions and affect a myriad of events on a global scale, which is exactly what the Council is planning. Dr. Kara Singh has been hearing voices in her mind and seeing visions in her dreams for several years. Because of them, she lost her family and her profession, left with nothing but the incessant contact of the voices and visions. When the Foundation learns about Kara, they wonder if she could have AIT. Daniel is sent to investigate, which puts them both on a journey of discovery to Norway and Liberia, ending in America where the horrific truth is finally revealed. Insightfully devised and written, THE DEVIL'S GAME is another exhilarating, fast-paced thriller by Sean Chercover. The action-packed, intricate plot runs a suspenseful, twisting course to a riveting conclusion that promises more excitement in the final book of this extraordinary trilogy.

SUMMARY

The universe is trying to tell us something. Daniel Byrne spent ten years as a Vatican investigator, scrutinizing and debunking miracle claims—until he burned that life to the ground when one investigation shook his faith and revealed disturbing earthly conspiracies.

Daniel infiltrates a covert government facility and uncovers a bizarre new strain of the Plague that seems to flood the minds of its victims with visions of the future. Teaming up with disgraced physician Kara Singh, a woman beset with inexplicable visions of her own, Daniel traces the root of this deadly pathogen around the globe, and discovers a terrifying truth. In this fast-paced sequel to the bestselling The Trinity Game, can Daniel navigate a shadow world of secrets and conspiracy to stop a pandemic with devastating global consequences?
