Behind the gates of a fabulous Hamptons estate, FBI Special Agent Pendergast comes upon the carnage of a gruesome — and seemingly supernatural — crime.
The smoldering remains of infamous art critic Jeremy Grove, a melted cross branding his chest, are found in a locked, barricaded attic. The hoof–print singed into the floorboards and the smell of brimstone recall the legendary horrors that befall those who make a pact with the Devil.
Reuniting with Police Officers Vincent D’Agosta and Laura Hayward, Pendergast combs New York, hoping for a simple explanation: a villain who is merely human.
But his search takes him beyond the exclusive clubs and luxury penthouses of Manhattan to the crumbling, legend–shrouded castles of the Italian countryside, where — 30 years before — four men may have conjured something unspeakable.
