Day of Wrath (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781959170372)

There are secrets within the Church. Some are worth killing for.

When Washington, DC, homicide detective Marko Zorn is called to the city's cathedral, he finds a scene as chilling as it is surreal: the bloodied body of the cardinal archbishop lies on the church floor beneath a balcony far above, a playing card clutched in his hand.

The card is a key to an ancient secret from the mountains of Mexico, where the archbishop encountered a shadowy cult devoted to Holy Death.

As Marko digs deeper, he's pulled into a secretive world of ritual and power that stretches from a remote desert village to the inner sanctums of the Vatican. What begins as a murder investigation quickly spirals into something far more dangerous: a calculated plot to infiltrate the Catholic Church and extend the cult's reach into the modern world.

With bodies mounting, time running out, and the pope on his deathbed, Marko must expose the truth before the cult's influence becomes unstoppable. Is the Devil back in the game?

A spellbinding tale in the tradition of Dan Brown and David Baldacci, Day of Wrath is the most atmospheric novel of Otho Eskin's acclaimed Marko Zorn series.
