From internationally bestselling author Glenn Cooper comes a gripping archaeological thriller of prophecy, secrecy, and spiritual warfare—spanning Ancient Rome, Elizabethan England, and the modern Vatican.

Elisabetta Celestino was once a rising star in Roman archaeology. But when she uncovers a wall of ancient astrological symbols and the skeletons of long-dead humans with vestigial tails in the catacombs beneath the Vatican, her excavation is abruptly shut down.

Ten years later, a cave-in reopens the site—and the mystery. Now a nun, Elisabetta is pulled back into a deadly investigation involving a centuries-old prophecy, the murder of a scholar clutching Doctor Faustus, and a hidden sect that may have infiltrated the highest levels of the Church.

What she uncovers will challenge her faith, her family, and the future of the Church itself.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What Readers are Saying:

“In The Devil Will Come, Glenn Cooper is once again skillful in playing with continuous transitions between past and present and shows he fights on the same field as Dan Brown… A story full of suspense, spanning dark periods like the Middle Ages and the first Christian martyrs.” Luca Crovi, Il Giornale

“This novel is one of those that just when you think it has all been resolved in the end, you will finally be thinking there is more to come. It’s clever and subtle in the finale, just like the rest of the story. The stage is set with a multitude of characters. The star players are a study in opposites and just when you feel you have them figured out, they do something totally unpredictable. This book will keep you guessing.” Amazon Review
