Five years have passed since the events in New York City. With Thirteen dead, Gavin and Ashley relocated to a small Ohio town, his life as a demon hunter nothing more than a memory. Meanwhile, Kayla and Jamie have started a family in Chicago, trading one metropolis for the next as they adjust to the ever changing world of parenthood. But peace is short lived as the past comes back to haunt them. Though Triton is gone, his legacy has continued in the form of a secret society known only as The Order. Soon Ashley disappears, taking with her an unexpected secret, leaving Gavin to pick up the pieces. Now hunted by Triton's partners and an assassin on his trail, Gavin is forced into an unexpected partnership as he races against time and fights to save Ashley, all the while falling deeper into darkness.

"One of the most compelling books of her remarkable career. . . . A magisterial and subtle exploration of all-too-human emotions."–The Seattle Times
Combe Island off the Cornish coast is a restful haven for the elite. But when one of its distinguished visitors is found hanging from the island’s famous lighthouse in what appears to have been a murder, the peace is shattered. Commander Adam Dalgliesh is called in to handle the sensitive case, but at a difficult time for him and his depleted team. He is uncertain about his future with his girlfriend Emma Lavenham; his principle detective Kate Miskin is going through an emotional crisis; and the ambitious Sergeant Francis Benton-Smith is not happy about having a female boss. After a second brutal killing, the whole investigation is jeopardized, and Dalgliesh is faced with a danger even more insidious than murder.
