The Devil Will Come An Ancient Conspiracy Thriller Buried Beneath the Vatican

From internationally bestselling author Glenn Cooper comes a gripping archaeological thriller steeped in religious mystery, ancient secrets, and apocalyptic stakes. In the dark silence of Rome's catacombs, brilliant young archaeologist Elisabetta Celestino discovers a wall inscribed with mysterious astrological symbols- clues that suggest a secret, pre-Christian sect once operated in the shadows of the early Church. When disfigured skeletons with vestigial tails are found nearby, Elisabetta believes she's on the verge of a major historical breakthrough. But the Vatican abruptly shuts down the dig, and the findings are buried-literally and politically. Ten years later, an earthquake collapses the site and uncovers long-forgotten remains. Now a nun, Elisabetta is drawn back into a web of intrigue when a man is found murdered with a tail and a rare edition of Doctor Faustus clutched in his hand. Called to investigate, she finds herself face-to-face with the same unspeakable evil she once glimpsed underground- a force that has been manipulating events for centuries, embedded within the highest ranks of power.
