Temidden van de donkere straten van Londen loert een onvoorstelbare verschrikking... Gruwelijke dingen schuilen in het Oude Kwartier. Wie 's nachts de straat op gaat, is een gemakkelijke prooi voor de wolven en moordenaars die de kronkelige straatjes teisteren, of voor nog veel dodelijker wezens... Maar niets is gevaarlijker dan het kwaad in vermomming. De ogenschijnlijke rijkdom en liefdadigheid van de hoogste kringen zijn een dekmantel voor een monsterlijk verbond dat een bedreiging vormt voor de hele mensheid. En het middelpunt ervan is de beeldschone, kwetsbare, mysterieuze Alaizabel Cray - de sleutel tot een onuitsprekelijk kwaad.

Two years out of law school, Nick Rey is already on the fast track at a hot Miami law firm.

And as Nick soon learns, it isn’t the guerillas who hold the key to his father’s survival. A group of faceless lawyers at a powerful firm has something to hide, and will stop at nothing to keep Nick from discovering the truth.
