Synopsis
Jack Nightingale era negociador policial de New Scotland Yard. Hasta que le tocó un caso demasiado difícil, incluso para él: una niña de nueve años se suicida por haber sufrido abusos sexuales y su padre, el principal sospechoso, cae al vacío desde un edificio del centro de la ciudad con Jack como único testigo. Dos años más tarde, Jack es un detective privado acosado por pesadillas que sobrevive espiando a maridos infieles. Un día, después de uno de sus terribles sueños, Jack despierta escuchando un mensaje escalofriante: Vas a ir al infierno, profecía que parece comenzar a cumplirse cuando hereda una lujosa mansión y una grabación en DVD en la que el millonario Ainsley Gosling le revela dos secretos: que es su verdadero padre y que, en apenas tres semanas, coincidiendo con su 33 cumpleaños, una criatura diabólica reclamará su alma.
“You're going to hell, Jack Nightingale.”These are the words that ended Jack Nightingale's career as a police negotiator. Now a struggling private detective, the chilling words return with a vengeance when Jack inherits a mansion with a priceless library—and a terrifying warning from a man who claims to be his father.Nightingale quickly learns his soul was sold at birth and a devil will come to claim it on his thirty-third birthday, which is just three short weeks away. It’s a hard pill to swallow. He doesn't believe in Hell and probably doesn't believe in Heaven either. But when people close to him start to die horribly, he is led to the inescapable conclusion that real evil may be at work. And if he doesn't find a way out, he'll be damned for eternity.
Dripping with brooding intensity, unrelenting suspense, and surprising wit, United Kingdom thriller master Stephen Leather’s first book in The Nightingale Series is a riveting, heart-stopping mystery with extraordinary range and power.
