Five years.
Five years on the run, hiding from surveillance cameras, police checks… friends.
In an attempt to escape the cult that is pursuing him, former Miami detective Lazarus “Lars” Bundy takes refuge in Italy and works undercover for a security agency, when his client is murdered by a sniper. As the bloodstain spreads across the victim’s clothing, Lars realizes that there is only one way to prevent his past from tracking him down: solve the case before the police and bring the culprit to justice as quickly and quietly as possible.
A senseless crime, conflicting clues and a smoky trail will push the former detective on another exciting journey around the world, from an imposing Rome to the land of the rising sun, passing through Palestine and India. With the help of an old ally he thought he’d left behind forever, Lars finds himself drawn into a case more complex and dangerous than he could have imagined, filled with international mysteries and mysticism. Meanwhile, a much more personal threat lurks at hand, something Lars is determined to suppress and hide from the world.
