Detective Tyler Sorenson has spent twenty-three years running from a truth he can't outrun: his hands remember how to do something no training ever taught them.
When a twelve-year-old boy is found in a drainage ditch, mutilated with a script older than recorded religion, Tyler tells himself it's just another case. Then a priest is found crucified in his own church. Then a friend is drained hollow in a hospital supply closet - and somehow left wearing another dead man's eyes. The fingerprints never match. The pattern never stops escalating. And Tyler can't shake the feeling that whatever is doing this has been waiting for him specifically, for a very long time.
The investigation pulls him into the psychiatric wing of a hospital where nothing adds up - a physician haunted by his own guilt, a missing man who should have died fifteen years ago, and a patient locked in a straitjacket who knows things about Tyler's life no stranger ever should. It also pulls him toward Sierra, a bartender who's spent three years learning to read every silence he's never explained, and who's about to discover exactly what she's been waiting for him to say.
With a best friend who's stopped needing proof, a priest who's spent thirty years preparing for exactly this, and a partner who decides monsters are real faster than either of them expects, Tyler starts closing in on the truth - only to learn that the real danger was never the killer he was chasing. It's what he is. What's been in his blood since long before he was born. And what several very old, very patient things intend to do about it.
Some doors, once closed, are supposed to stay that way.
Not all of them do.
