Part of Series

The Demon's In The Details Alastair Stone is intrigued when he’s asked to look into a bizarre series of murders united by intricate and unsettling symbols carved into the victims’ bodies. As the deaths pile up and the killer seems able both to travel and to commit his crimes without a trace, Stone learns the murders aren’t only linked—they’re parts of a malevolent, massively powerful ritual with an ancient demonic artifact at its root. With the stakes growing ever higher, Stone needs strong allies—including an old enemy with crucial information, an old friend he hasn’t seen for years, and someone very close to him who reveals a surprising new secret. If he can’t get to the bottom of the ritual and deal with the source before it’s too late to stop it, millions of people could perish. But even if he does prevent the ritual, the choices he’s forced to make to ensure victory will change his life in ways he never expected.
