  Three Initiates

  The Kybalion  is a book originally published in 1908 by "Three Initiates" (often identified as the New Thought pioneer William Walker Atkinson, 1862–1932) that purports to convey the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus.
  While it shares with ancient and medieval Hermetic texts a number of traits such as philosophical mentalism, the concept of 'as above, so below', and the idea that everything consists of gendered polar opposites, as a whole it is more indebted to the ideas of modern occultist authors, especially those of the New Thought movement to which Atkinson belonged. A modern Hermetic tract, it has been widely influential in New Age circles since the twentieth century.

Whomever Terry holds a grudge against meets and unexplainable and brutal end, and the list of his deserving victims grows longer by the day. 
    
  As the murders continue, Dani Isaksson, a clever and committed detective, tries to contain the wicked string of horrific killings, getting ever closer to an apparent supernatural cause of the slayings.
