Synopsis

FEATURED | #1 in whodunnit for over four weeks | #1 in the third chaos award

When you can't trust in angels, you turn to the devil for a pact.

Alessandro Steno is Venice's living legend. Trying to wash old blood off his hands, he hunts the city's worst criminals. Investigating the grotesque deaths of famous artists, Alessandro finds himself face to face with a ghost story. An assassin known as 'The Reaper'. And in the shadows of the dead hides something bound to destroy his city and plunge the world into chaos. In dire need of allies, Alessandro finds out beggars can't be choosers...

A stranger offers him a deal: he will kill the Reaper, if the inspector let's him uncover the secrets of his father. Alessandro just might have to team up with one demon to defeat another...

A girl hellbent on revenge for the murder of her friend won't stay home in the safety of wealth and marriage. Wanting to prove herself at all costs, she might just be the Reaper's easiest catch...

Can liars find the truth? How long can they fight all fronts -- themselves, each other, the world? Who can beat death's game?
