Senator Belinda Harris-Christy's own mother-is the cult's high priestess, and her daughter is the sacrifice. Father Paul, the priest who tried to save Christy, has been brutally murdered. And Jamo's investigation is being buried by political pressure he can't fight.With his partner dead and his memory failing, Jamo must stop a ritual he doesn't understand. But the only person who can break the binding is Christy herself-if she can remember the Latin prayer Father Paul made her memorize years ago.One night. One prayer. One chance to free a soul that's been enslaved for a century.Gothic horror meets detective noir in this supernatural thriller that explores the price of protection, the nature of free will, and what it means to die free after living as a monster.Perfect for fans of: The Dresden Files, Constantine, True Detective, Supernatural
