Synopsis
#1 International Bestseller
From the internationally bestselling thriller writer Glenn Cooper, whose books have sold more than 6 million copies worldwide, comes a gripping historical thriller:
The Devil Will Come
"The stars move still, time runs, the clock will strike,
The Devil will come, and Faustus must be damned."
These haunting lines from Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus may hold the key to a shocking, centuries-old secret in this electrifying new novel by Glenn Cooper.
Elisabetta Celestino, a brilliant young archaeologist working in Rome’s ancient catacombs, uncovers a unique pattern of astrological symbols on a hidden wall. She suspects the remnants of a forgotten pre-Christian sect lie behind the sealed chamber—especially when untombed skeletons with disturbing anomalies are found nearby. But the Vatican refuses to authorize further excavation, and her project is shut down.
Ten years later, a cave-in reopens the site—and unleashes a deadly mystery.
Now a nun, Elisabetta has left archaeology behind for a life of prayer and teaching, but a shocking event thrusts her back into the shadows of the past. Racing to uncover the truth hidden in the catacombs, she must face an apocalyptic threat—one that could destroy the Vatican and alter the course of human history.
Spanning present-day Europe, 1st-century Rome, and Elizabethan England, The Devil Will Come is a masterfully written, high-stakes thriller about the eternal battle between good and evil—a war fought in secrecy for centuries and across continents, with both sides willing to kill to protect the truth.
Praise for The Devil Will Come
“In The Devil Will Come, Glenn Cooper is once again skillful in playing with continuous transitions between past and present and shows he fights on the same field as Dan Brown and the esoteric thriller. He has constructed a story full of suspense, taking us through dark periods like the Middle Ages and the first community of Christian martyrs.”
— Luca Crovi, Il Giornale, Italy
“Glenn Cooper, the Indiana Jones of literature.”
— Annarita Briganti, La Repubblica
