After accompanying his father to a crime scene of yet another gruesome murder, Jiri Ivanov becomes the target of a psychopath who exploits the gifted twelve year old in the hopes to unlock cryptic knowledge to control life, longevity and the hereafter.

Time is of the essence. Very few who work within Prague's secret police believe the wild theories that investigator Nikolai Ivanov (Jiri's father) puts forward about the latest series of killings. As their inner circle of trust, safety and security gets smaller with each fresh kill, the Ivanov family must pull together to not only survive but to ensure that the clandestine truth that they hold so deep remains a secret; even if it means breaking rules that were set in motion centuries before they were born.THREE SISTERSThe first gathers the thread and holds it to the light. The second will measure the length, and the third decides where to cut the tether that descends into darkness. When together the sisters hold all there is to know about the light of life, the passage of longevity and ultimately, death in all its darkness.
