Professor and paranormal investigator Marcus Mortlake wages a never-ending battle against supernatural evil. Barely recovered from his last brush with death, Mortlake, along with his partner Dr. Lynn Carroll, continue their frantic search for the Book of Death. When the trail runs cold, Mortlake must call upon the aid of a questionable ally. And he knows better than anyone that such a bargain can come at a terrible price.

Evil lurks on a remote island off the coast. The power of the book has been unleashed. And Mortlake may have to sacrifice that which he holds most dear to stop it...
