A New York Times Bestselling Author. Art critic Jeremy Grove is found dead, his face frozen in a mask of terror. His body temperature is grotesquely high; he is discovered in a room barricaded from the inside; the smell of brimstone is everywhere . . . and the unmistakable imprint of a claw is burned into the wall. As more bodies are discovered with an identical manner of death, the world begins to wonder if the Devil has come to collect his due.
