Paolo Scopacasa Book order (chronological)

Londra, XVII secolo. Un poeta, dopo anni di ricerca, trova le sette pagine mancanti e scopre la Profezia. Ma un sipario nero cala su di lui: come chi lo ha preceduto, John Milton diventa cieco. Ora deve completare un ultimo compito, il più difficile, poiché è stato scelto per difendere l'umanità dalle forze del Male: è un Custode. San Paolo, Brasile, oggi. Un'apparente tragedia colpisce una giovane popstar, morta in un incendio nel suo camerino. Tuttavia, dettagli inquietanti emergono: il corpo è carbonizzato, ma la stanza è intatta. L'agente speciale Bernadette Callahan, esperta in crimini irrisolvibili, si trova di fronte a un caso enigmatico. Gli indizi includono un simbolo satanico sul pavimento e un antico medaglione con l'immagine di san Cristoforo. Insieme al professor Sebastian LaLaurie, esperto di letteratura religiosa e occultismo, Bernadette intraprende un'indagine che la porterà su un sentiero impervio, costellato di omicidi misteriosi e riferimenti a un segreto celato nel manoscritto originale del Paradiso perduto di Milton: il segreto dei Custodi e delle sette pagine perdute della Bibbia del Diavolo.
