  The New York Times–bestselling author of Devil's Bargain brings back two kick-ass female private investigators in a case of premonitions and peril. 
   
   
    
  While Jazz Callender is recuperating from nearly losing her life during their first case for the mysterious Cross Society, Lucia Garza hires a new investigator to their firm: none other than Ben McCarthy. The former Kansas City cop has finally been exonerated of murder, and just in time. Jazz and Lucia have received a new red letter. 
   
   
    
  But instead of instructions for a high-priority case, this missive contains nothing but a warning: "One of you has made a mistake." And it's on letterhead from the Cross Society's major adversary in a psychic war. With Ben filling them in on his past secretive dealings with the organization, Jazz and Lucia start to believe they may be in bed with the enemy, one that they've underestimated at their own peril . . .

  Raymond Mackey is a struggling crime writer. His friends call him Mack. But friends are in short supply these days. Mack’s 30 years as a homicide detective came to the kind of abrupt, ignominious end that tends to make friends dry up and blow away. It matters little that Mack was never actually a mole working for a shadowy, seemingly omnipresent mob boss. Somehow, the evidence was there anyway, and the scandal ended everything for him overnight. Lucky to stay out of prison, Mack lives in a netherworld of forced retirement, spinning his memories of old homicide cases into pulp fiction and working part time as a shopping mall cop. His wife Marlo has been dead of pancreatic cancer for nearly five years. That leaves his ancient Smith-Corona Corsair, a pack of Camels, a bottle of Old Forester, and Marlo’s bourbon-loving cat, Phil, as Mack’s only company.Almost. Because Mack also keeps himself company. The psychiatrists call it depersonalization-derealization disorder. Mack calls it triple-D. But crazy also works. It means he watches himself, usually from an overhead perspective, as though someone has tied a floating camera to a back beltloop on a long string. It makes him feel watched, and not by someone inclined to judge him kindly. “Watch yourself, Mack,” people tell him. He has no choice.When an old informant goes missing and Mack’s face turns up in a dead man’s camera, his past comes roaring painfully back to life. Now the cops want him for questioning, the mob want him dead, and it’s getting tough to tell who, exactly, is working for who. As a mercilessly hot Chicago summer finally breaks and it starts to rain bodies, Mack is past his prime for this kind of action. Retirement has added weight and subtracted agility. His antiquated cell phone will not stop ringing with a mysteriously blocked number. In the end, as Mack watches himself from above, it is razor-sharp instinct, cheap consumer electronics, and his dead wife that offer his only hope.

  Chicago criminal attorney Michael Prescott is in Rome, visiting his best friend, Monsignor Robert Cavalieri, a Special Diplomat to the Vatican. He is informed that Giovanni Cardinal Masellis, the “Mafia Cardinal”, who was once the evilest cardinal in his day, has made a deathbed confession regarding the details of the poisoning murder of Pope John Paul I. His confession is secretly recorded by the Italian newspaper “La Repubblica” and their ambitious editor, Max Gianforte, who is desperately trying to confirm the Cardinal’s deathbed revelations.  
  The dying Cardinal also reveals specific details regarding the circumstances of the Pope’s death and the missing “Coins of Gregorio,” which was a priceless gift donated by the influential Italian mobster Don Giancarlo Cesario on the night before his murder. This gift was an attempt to bribe and influence His Holiness in the Vatican investigation of the Banco Ambrosiano scandal that his family was involved. Meanwhile, wine master Marco DiVito, the former Vatican Head of Security in 1978, now oversees his vineyard near the foothills of Rome. He meets his long-lost daughter, Sienna, an investigative journalist with the Washington Post, whom he abandoned as a little girl in Boston. The Post has asked her to investigate “one of the biggest stories to come out of the Vatican in decades.”  
  Michael Prescott meets Sienna at a local café and originally tries to temper her investigative efforts before falling in love. As rumors swirl around Rome after the death of Cardinal Masellis, Italian crime boss Calogero "Don Charlie,” Cesario believes that DiVito, who may be the actual murderer, also possesses these missing, priceless coins. He is unhappy with the implication of his family in this Vatican Confession Scandal, revealing total corruption and instability of the Vatican Church. His search will only end with the return of these rare coins or DiVito’s slow, painful death

  With celestial war on the horizon, and the failure of Earth Project 606 (the rehabilitation of fallen angels and their offspring), the Edentian Council is set to abandon humanity. Only Danielle Peschard, the sole Edentian representative on Earth, can appeal to the council on Earth's behalf. But can one person truly change the fate of the entire world?  A renowned archeologist working for the MET, Danielle Peschard is familiar with the erudite and complex players in New York's elite circles. She is also keenly aware that things are not as they seem. Earth's inhabitants use their free will with little concern for cosmic consequences, but Danielle knows the truth—that the Edentian Council, a group of cosmic beings dispassionately monitoring the evolution of the human race, has concluded mankind's gift of free will to be a mistake that must be corrected.  As the only Edentian to be incarnated in a human body, Danielle must reestablish communication with Edentia and disrupt the nefarious plans of those set on enslaving humanity. But just as she attempts to take action, her interstellar communications cut out and she is brutally assaulted.  This attack reignites an eternal conflict between the forces operating on Earth, and the only way to prevent Earth's destruction by cosmic abandonment is for Danielle to present the best humanity has to offer to the Edentian Council as proof of Earth Project 606's success. In a frantic race across the globe, Danielle must match wits in mortal combat with The Group: a nefarious consortium of planetary tycoons determined to implement a sinister plot—and possibly obliterate the human race.  The Edentians extrapolates conflicts from Earth's present condition and compels readers to wrestle with the origin and purpose of human existence. From Paris and the Vatican to the Egyptian pyramids and the Teotihuacan ruins, Gissele Trussell takes readers on a thrilling speculative journey that untangles webs of corporate greed, political treachery and terrorism against a cosmic, multi-layer plot that examines and challenges modern beliefs about religion and reality.
