In this electrifying sequel to the crowd-pleasing thriller Angel
Killer, magician-turned-FBI agent Jessica Blackwood must once again
draw on her past to go up against a brutal murderer desperate for
revenge at any price.
After playing a pivotal role in the capture of the Warlock, a seemingly
supernatural serial killer--and saving the FBI's reputation in the
process--agent Jessica Blackwood can no longer ignore the world she left
behind. Formerly a prodigy in a family dynasty of illusionists, her
talent and experience endow her with a unique understanding of the power
and potential of deception, as well as a knack for knowing when things
are not always as they appear to be.
When a church congregation vanishes under mysterious circumstances in
rural Appalachia, the bizarre trail of carnage indicates the Devil's
hand at work. But Satan can't be the suspect, so FBI consultant Dr.
Ailes and Jessica's boss on the Warlock case, Agent Knoll, turn to the
ace up their sleeve: Jessica. She's convinced that an old cassette tape
holds the key to the mystery, and unraveling the recorded events reveals
a troubling act with far-reaching implications. The evil at work is
human, and Jessica must follow the trail from West Virginia to Mexico,
Miami, and even the hallowed halls of the Vatican.
Can she stop a cold-blooded killer obsessed by a mortal sin--or will she
become the next target in a twisted, diabolical game of hunter and
prey...?
