Perdition is a city of lost souls. It's a city of filth and crime and misery. It's where the destitute dwell, and the hopeless live in torment. It's where dreams go to die.
For renowned Detective, Spencer Havelock, a new partner from the upper-class city of Swift Hill means tolerating the company of a pampered cop who's never seen a major crime scene. Detective Jones, Hav's new partner, is simply excited to be working with the hero cop.
When the two Detectives attend the homicide of a young archaeologist, they discover there is more than foul play at work. Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs are painted across the walls with blood. Strange burn marks cover the victims' hands. The whole scene reeks of evil.
One by one residents of Perdition fall prey to the killer with each crime scene more gruesome than the last... and no pattern to the killings the Detectives can identify.
With the help of an unlikely ally, Hav and Jones work to unravel the primeval riddle. Ancient texts and puzzling visions lead them on a path to ultimate destruction. In a city where no-one is innocent, who can they trust? Havelock and Jones must rely on each other.
If they fail, it will be to the detriment of all.
