Every year, for over 500 years, La Orden de las Serpientes de Cristo, a secretive sixteenth century Mexican cult has systematically conducted human sacrifices.
Nick Palmer, a dispirited homicide detective, and his partner Gabriela Martinez are unknowingly investigating the latest murder in the abhorrent sequence of killings-the unidentified body of a young woman found in front of the Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago.
Apparitions of the cult's prior victims begin appearing to Nick. These ghostly figures send him on a quest to track down the leaders of the cult responsible for the ritualistic executions.
Nick and Gabriela's cat-and-mouse chase take them through major cities in Europe and Mexico in a deadly, high-stakes game of murder, retribution, love, and surprises that will change everyone's perception of life and death
