But nothing in Naples is simple.
In the catacombs beneath the ancient city, Kane discovers evidence of something that has operated in shadow for five hundred years. Noble families. Ritualistic practices. Children who vanished into the dark and were never seen again.
The priest didn't die because he knew too much. He died because he was about to confess his own partaking.
Now Kane and his assassin partner Elvira Kelmendi are caught between forces they barely understand. A conspiracy that reaches into the highest levels of Italian society. A mysterious figure il Confessori who claims to want the same thing they do. And families who have protected their secrets with blood for generations.
Everyone in Naples is hiding something. Everyone has an agenda. And the deeper Kane descends, the more he realizes: the people hunting monsters sometimes become monsters themselves.
Some evils refuse to stay dead. No matter how many times you kill them.
The Order of St. Dismas handles the sins too dark for confession. Kane is about to learn what that really means.
