When Washington, DC homicide detective Marko Zorn is called to the city’s Cathedral, he finds a gothic scene: A bloodied corpse lies below the balcony, clutching a playing card in its right hand. It’s not just any corpse but that of the Cardinal Archbishop of Washington. And that playing card? A clue to the dead prelate’s mysterious past in the mountains of Mexico, where he witnessed the appearance of the cult of Holy Death.
No stranger to underworlds, Marko is swiftly drawn into a secret society—a world of incense and stained glass, stretching from that mountainous Mexican village all the way to the Vatican. The Archbishop’s murder, he learns, is part of a vast plot to infiltrate the Catholic Church and then extend Holy Death’s influence over secular society. The closer he gets to the cult's heart of darkness, the more the bodies pile up.
Can Marko find the Archbishop’s killer and pull back the curtain on the cult before it is too late?
A spellbinding tale in the tradition of Dan Brown and David Baldacci, Day of Wrath is the most atmospheric novel of Eskin’s acclaimed Marko Zorn series.
