Some sins don't die. They just wait.
Detective Elodie Arcement is a lapsed Catholic who believes in evidence, not exorcisms. But when a body is found flash-fried in a locked room, the only clues are nineteen ancient silver coins and the smell of biblical wrath. The coins are Tyrian shekels. The kind Judas was paid with.
Teamed up with a sanctimonious Pure Soul operative she'd rather arrest than work with, Elodie is dragged into a shadow war for the missing pieces of silver. Each coin she touches plunges her into a vision of historical betrayal, from the Garden of Gethsemane to the back alleys of Nazi-occupied Poland. But these visions leave a residue, rewriting her memories, her skills, and her soul.
A killer is hunting the coins. The Vatican wants them buried. And a primordial entity named Luciel claims the coins aren't a curse, but a gospel-a gospel he's using to build a new god from the world's most unforgivable sins.
As the body count rises and reality itself begins to fracture, Elodie realizes she's not just hunting a relic. She's becoming one. And to stop the birth of a false messiah, she may have to commit a betrayal so profound it will rewrite salvation history.
Perfect for fans of Stephen King's The Outsider, Dan Brown's arcane puzzles, and the gritty, supernatural noir of Constantine. The Gospel of the Wound is a relentless psychological thriller that asks one terrifying question: What if the greatest sin was not the betrayal, but the forgiveness that followed?
