Summary
The most shocking secret in the history of mankind is about
to be revealed...A murderer is on the loose on the streets of
New York City: nicknamed the Doomsday Killer, he's claimed six
victims in just two weeks, and the city is terrified. Even
worse, the police are mystified: the victims have nothing in
common, defying all profiling, and all that connects them is
that each received a sick postcard in the mail before they died
- a postcard that announced their date of death. In
desperation, the FBI assigns the case to maverick agent Will
Piper, once the most accomplished serial killing expert in the
bureau's history, now on a dissolute spiral to retirement.
Battling his own demons, Will is soon drawn back into a world
he both loves and hates, determined to catch the killer
whatever it takes. But his search takes him in a direction he
could never have predicted, uncovering a shocking secret that
has been closely guarded for centuries. A secret that once lay
buried in an underground library beneath an 8th Century
monastery, but which has now been unearthed - with deadly
consequences. A select few defend the secret of the library
with their lives - and as Will closes in on the truth, they are
determined to stop him, at any cost...
