What starts as a brutal murder of a young woman at a luxury hotel overlooking Central Park will ultimately lead to a change in human destiny. Detective Dre Vaux, part of a recently formed elite intelligence unit of the NYPD, is ordered to the crime scene. Dre is an "eidetic" - a memory specialist - possessing an uncanny ability to recall images, sounds, objects, even visceral connections with extreme vividness and precision. Since childhood, his pattern-recognition genius has proven both a blessing and a curse. Dre discovers that the murder victim is beautiful M.I.T. superstar Dr. Anna Lumpari, the fiancé of his long-estranged childhood friend. That former friend is now the sensationally gifted rapper-prophet known as M.C. Messiah. The rapper's message has penetrated so deeply across cultures and national boundaries that some very powerful people in The West believe it represents an imminent danger to the government of the United States as well as the worldwide spiritual authority of The Church.And, it turns out, Anna Lumpari's death isn't a random killing, but a carefully planned execution by a highly trained assassin. This specialist is not merely executioner but is also responsible for destroying her research...before it can be made public.Who are the forces behind her murder and why? What treasure trove of secrets and ciphers lie hidden within the intricate, graphic tattoo displayed across her abdomen? And what do her M.I.T. colleagues know about the scientific discoveries she had uncovered which prove with certainty M.C. Messiah's breathtaking revelations? And is Dre's long ago but profoundly influencing friendship with M.C. the reason he's being engulfed in the case? Even with his extraordinary skill and 172 I.Q., Dre struggles to unravel his own connection to a dangerous worldwide power struggle sworn to protect the greatest secrets known - and unknown - to mankind.
