Produktbeschreibung

Perdition

/pəˈdɪʃn/

noun

A state of eternal punishment and damnation into which a sinful and unrepentant person passes after death.

1953. Hero Detective, Spencer Havelock, a conflicted cop in the city of Perdition, is dismayed at the prospect of meeting his new partner. Detective Jones is an up and comer from Swift Hill, the wealthy side of town. After the death of his former partner Will, Hav is used to policing on his own, and Jones's bright and positive attitude only serves to grate on his nerves.

After a series of strange events, the two Detectives attend the homicide of a young archaeologist and immediately discover there is more than foul play involved. Egyptian hieroglyphs are painted on 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. First a street thug. Then a young mental patient. No-one is immune and each scene is more gruesome than the last. There is no pattern to the killings they can identify. Detective Havelock falls prey to the curse, his mind slowly taken over by an influence he cannot control; forcing him to place his trust in Jones to take the lead to try and solve the case.

With the help of some unlikely allies Hav and Jones work to unravel the primeval riddle to prevent the ruin of the world. 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.
