Peter James weaves a supremely commercial tale around an unholy offer made to a young couple. This tale has the supernatural menace of The Omen, the moral dilemma of Indecent Proposal, and the techno-paranoia of Michael Crichton.

It becomes apparent that Sarotzini wields immense power and Susan begins to doubt everything she knows. As she realises the terrifying origin of the dark forces Saratzini controls she is in fear for herself and John but most of all for her unborn baby …
