Despite his millions of dollars, Clouse has been unable to purchase peace of mind and safety for those he loves. In this sequel, it soon becomes apparent that someone has been following his every move as well as watching his friends. The saddest part of the journey has been the deaths of Paul's closest and dearest friends over the past two years (some of my favorite characters). Daniels remains his ally and Clouse adds Tim Niemeyer's brother in the fight against the evil avenger. Four reapers have died, but still a cloaked killer threatens Clouse's family. The addition of the historical diaries from the past brings a new dimension to the historical legend, but other objects introduced into this story will change the direction of future events to come. Speculation about characters from the second novel adds more mystery and the answers to those questions are revealed in the plot. At the end of the novel the mystery surrounding various characters has been revealed, but don't count anyone out in this continuing mystery series.
