Synopsis

A Black Muslim mosque is blown off the face of the earth. A novice nun is stalked, tortured, and raped. A famous Chicago columnist is slain in vicious ritualistic fashion. And suddenly Commander Larry Cole is on the trail of Martin Zykus, the most cunning killer he has ever faced. To solve these crimes, Cole will have to dig deep into both his past and his present. He must return to a long-ago search for another sexual psychopath in another time - and a terrifying chase through the bowels of an abandoned, rat-infested Loop hotel. He must also deal with a vastly different man. Steven Zalkin, a mysterious tycoon, is engaged in a program of prodigious philanthropy in which he is giving away untold millions to Chicago's most worthy citizens and institutions. What is the connection between Zykus and Zalkin? Sister Mary Stallings, one of Zykus's earliest victims, holds the key to Cole's case - a case he must solve before her tormentor returns to settle an ancient score.
