Synopsis
Anne Fitzgerald, a former nun turned private detective, is asked by the Archdiocese of Boston to investigate the strange case of two pregnant teenagers who, according to a secret religious prophecy, are destined to deliver both an unspeakable evil and a miraculous force into the world. Caught between the certainty of science and the possibility of a miracle, Anne finds herself at the epicenter of a cosmic clash between good and evil. This novel is bestselling author James Patterson's latest "nursery rhyme'' thriller, a series that has included such prestigious titles as Along Came a Spider, Kiss the Girls, and When the Wind Blows.
Barnes & Noble Guide to New Fiction
From #1 best-selling author Patterson, this "surprisingly good," "heart-pounding and fast-paced" suspense story (lacking his beloved Alex Ross character) tells of the clash between good and evil at the end of the millennium with "an unforgettable ending." "No serial killers anywhere!" Dissenting reviewers said, "I was transported to a better book on my nightstand." "Patterson struck out with this one - a disappointment for his followers."
