In the frozen wilderness of Anchorage, Alaska, CIA  Special Agent Jared Henderson is investigating a series of murders with nothing to link them except dead ends. Until a chance encounter with a mysterious woman in a hotel leads to a startling discovery and opens up an intriguing trail.  It's a trail that puts him on a journey to conflict-torn Israel, civil war ruined Nigeria, and decaying post-industrial Japan where he uncovers a terrifying secret. A secret that ultimately makes  him enter  the dark and deep heart of India where a millennia old death cult is being revived by a group of fanatics convinced that the end of the world is at hand and they are the agents chosen by God to bring it about. Manned by an army of trained assassins, the cult is as invisible as it is immanent. Racing against time, Jared must reach the center of the conspiracy and unravel it before it's too late. Travelling across countries, continents and millenia, this is a thriller that'll keep you on tenterhooks.
