In southern California, a young Mayan boy with a blue-crescent-moon tattoo on his chest dies mysteriously. In Central America, a puzzling illness is spreading among tribal villages. And soon—very soon—Luke McKenna, a pediatric E.R. physician in Los Angeles, will discover the link between these events and demons from his dark past as a member of the Pentagon's most elite and secretive Special Ops unit. The secrets that haunt Luke are about to pull him and the woman he loves into a terrifying house of mirrors. The realm of science and the realm of death are about to collide with devastating force, and the stakes couldn't be any higher—the future of the human race. Time is running out, and only by reawakening the ghost of Luke McKenna's past can they discover the truth. Read an excerpt.
