A body is found in the attic of a fabulous Long Island estate.
There is a claw print scorched into the wall, and the stench of sulfur chokes the air.
When FBI Special Agent Pendergast investigates the gruesome crime, he discovers that thirty years ago four men conjured something unspeakable.
Has the devil come to claim his due?
Some things can’t be undone.
The death of Jeremy Grove, a famous art critic, is inexplicable. His body was found in a locked room from inside, with the mark of a crucifix engraved on his chest like a burn, the imprint of a claw on the wall … And an unbearable stench of sulfur …
Will it be the marks of the devil? Even the least superstitious begin to speak of a covenant with the evil one. To investigate this strange case, FBI Agent Pendergast will have to leave New York and travel to a town in Italy, where twenty years ago four men made a diabolical promise.
From then on, Pendergast is forced to face unknown forces; he himself seems to be the next victim of an abominable revenge, to which it is not at all clear that he can survive ..
