"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.

"Your sister is going to hell, Jack Nightingale."

Somehow, variations of that line keep former police negotiator Nightingale's life careening in wild, unforeseen directions. This time, it is uttered by a dead woman hanging over a staircase, her neck broken by the laundry cord she tied around it before tossing herself over the banister. But Jack and his sister have been separated since birth... How can he save someone he's never met?

Nightingale goes on the hunt for the sister he never knew, but everyone he talks to about her dies horribly. It's as if someone--or something--is determined to keep them apart. If he's going to save her, he's going to have to do what he does best: negotiate. But any negotiation with the forces of darkness comes at a terrible price, and first Jack must ask himself a question: is every soul worth saving?

The last case of police negotiator Jack Nightingale's career ended in the death of nine-year-old Sophie Underwood. Since then he's saved his own soul from the devil... but now he's haunted by Sophie's cries for help. And when a gangbanger lying in a hospital bed with no brain activity repeatedly drops Jack's name, Nightingale realizes Sophie may desperately need him. But why?

Police superintendent Ronald Chalmers is determined to pin the gangbanger's almost-murder on Jack, but he is preoccupied with Sophie and whether or not she's in eternal torment--or if demons are torturing and deceiving him in order to gain the ultimate prize. With time running out, he'll have to face down Chalmers and the police, south London gangs, and Hell itself in order to find the answer...

In Jack Nightingale's world - where reality and the occult collide - sometimes the only way to fight evil is with evil. A farmer walks into a school and shoots eight children dead before turning the gun on himself. It's a harrowing but straightforward case - until police search the man's farm and unearth evidence of dark Satanic practices. When the perpetrator's brother approaches Nightingale, adamant that his brother was set up, it's clear that something even more sinister lurks at the heart of the case.

And there are dark forces elsewhere. A young girl miraculously returns to life, claiming she's spoken to those from beyond the grave. Those in contact with her are dying hideous deaths... forcing Jack Nightingale to make the hardest decision he's ever faced.

A killer is murdering Goths with relish - skinning and butchering them. The cops aren't getting anywhere so Jack Nightingale's nemesis, Superintendent Chalmers, asks him for help.

As Nightingale closes in on the killers, the tables are turned and he finds himself in the firing line, along with his friends and family. The Order will stop at nothing to protect their secrets and Nightingale realises that there is nothing he can do to protect himself. Nor can he run, for the Order has connections across the world. It leaves him with only one way to stop the carnage - and that's to take his own life...

With Nightingale's life -- and his very soul -- on the line, he has only days to stop The Apostles from bringing death and destruction to the entire world.
