Plot Synopsis

Daniel Clark is a behavioral psychologist who works for the FBI. For the past 16 months he has been stalking a killer called Eve who kills a young woman during every new moon.Daniel gets killed when he meets the killer face to face, but is resuscitated afterwards. His obsession with getting into the mind of the serial killer and stopping him from killing more innocent woman lands his marriage in divorce. After dying once he thinks he has nothing to lose in tracking down Eve.

Extract from the articles in the book about the life and origins of the killer called Eve:"There is no greater crisis facing humanity than atheism. One hour in the dead of the night with a man that is possessed will shatter the defiance of the staunchest atheist." "I don't blame those who don't believe in Evil; I pity them. The inhabitants of this planet also once thought the earth was flat. It was their lack of experience that failed to inform them of the truth, not any lack of intelligence.""Destroying all forms of light is Evil's primary occupation. Its secondary purpose is to do so without being detected. I would say that every human brushes up against the most abject form of evil at least once a day. But they might notice only once every ten years.""I have seen the face of evil, and if not for the grace of God himself, I would have cut my own throat so as not to face it ever again."- Father Robert Seymour (Dance of the Dead)
