In a rundown house, a woman has been dismembered in an act of carnage that leaves veteran cops in shock. Drwan on the wall, in blood, are ancient symbols, and a mirror-image word in Latin that, translated, says 'I have sinned'.

Then a second woman is found butchered on Beacon Hill, just outside the home of the leader of the Mephisto Club, a secret society dedicated to the study of the evil. On the door have been scrawled yet more ancient symbols.

This is evil that the Boston PD has never encountered before. And the only way Maura Isles can defeat is by turning to the people who understand the devil himself.

I think this one was a bit overdone, but nevertheless it was a very thrilling reading I barely could stop to devour.

Gelesen für die Assoziations-Challenge mit den September-Begriffen ROT und SPIEGEL. Meine Assoziation: Wenn ich abends in den Club gehe zum Tanzen, mache ich mich vorher vorm Spiegel zurecht.

Book was released on a bench in front of the library. Since Tess Gerritsen was in Stanford, I think i's a good place to release this book. Hope it will find a reader amongst all these students. :-)
