VINIMOS NUEVE A LA TIERRA. Tenemos el mismo aspecto que vosotros. Hablamos igual que vosotros. Vivimos entre vosotros. Pero no somos como vosotros. Podemos hacer cosas que sólo podéis imaginar. Tenemos poderes con los que sólo podéis soñar. Somos más fuertes y rápidos. Somos los superhéroes a los que admiráis en las películas y los cómics... pero nosotros existimos de verdad. Nuestro plan era crecer y fortalecernos para enfrentarnos unidos a ellos. Pero ellos nos encontraron antes y empezaron a cazarnos. Ahora, todos vivimos huyendo, entre las sombras, en lugares donde nadie nos buscaría, mimetizándonos. Hemos vivido entre vosotros sin que lo supierais.

A dark, disturbing, compulsively page-turning thriller featuring Herod, a killer of unimaginable cruelty, with an unthinkable desire London is in the grip of a barbaric serial killer, dubbed Herod by the tabloid press. Four pregnant women have been abducted in quick succession, their bodies mutilated and dumped. When a fifth pregnant woman, Julia Caton, is taken from her home in the dead of night, DCI David Rosen knows that time is running out to save her. Then Rosen gets a mysterious phone call from Father Sebastian Flint, an enigmatic priest who seems to know rather too much about the abductions. When it emerges that Father Flint was once the Vatican's leading expert on the occult, the investigation takes an increasingly disturbing turn. But it isn't until Rosen discovers the existence of an ancient text—said to be the devil's answer to the Bible—that the true horror of Herod's plan begins to unfold. Rosen is drawn inexorably to the killer's lair, where he will discover a terrible truth—that Herod's retribution is absolute, and that there are far worse things than death.

Londra, XVII secolo. Un poeta, dopo anni di ricerca, trova le sette pagine mancanti e scopre la Profezia. Ma un sipario nero cala su di lui: come chi lo ha preceduto, John Milton diventa cieco. Ora deve completare un ultimo compito, il più difficile, poiché è stato scelto per difendere l'umanità dalle forze del Male: è un Custode. San Paolo, Brasile, oggi. Un'apparente tragedia colpisce una giovane popstar, morta in un incendio nel suo camerino. Tuttavia, dettagli inquietanti emergono: il corpo è carbonizzato, ma la stanza è intatta. L'agente speciale Bernadette Callahan, esperta in crimini irrisolvibili, si trova di fronte a un caso enigmatico. Gli indizi includono un simbolo satanico sul pavimento e un antico medaglione con l'immagine di san Cristoforo. Insieme al professor Sebastian LaLaurie, esperto di letteratura religiosa e occultismo, Bernadette intraprende un'indagine che la porterà su un sentiero impervio, costellato di omicidi misteriosi e riferimenti a un segreto celato nel manoscritto originale del Paradiso perduto di Milton: il segreto dei Custodi e delle sette pagine perdute della Bibbia del Diavolo.
