Publisher's Summary

Attempting to leave the darker side of society behind by moving back to his small coastal hometown, former NYPD detective Jack Killarney soon learns there is no place so idyllic that evil doesn’t eventually come calling.

Jack becomes obsessed with understanding evil after a horrific crime is committed in his small Maine hometown. His investigation and research lead him to Professor Vivian Rueil, an expert on the topic of evil. She is brilliant and skeptical, and as emotionally scarred as he is.

Jack and Vivian discover a pattern to evil, and this launches them on an international search, from South Sudan to Israel to Pakistan, pursuing the pattern and attempting to thwart the next tragedy. Ultimately, they are hunting for something older than psychology, philosophy, and religion—and they just might find it.
