Synopsis

The author of the bestselling Rebecca delivers a novel of good and evil, in a haunted town in Italy whose distant and terrifying past comes alive again, five centuries later.

Twenty-five years ago, Armino Fabbio left his Italian home to escape the German army. Unrecognized upon his return, he is haunted by the presence of his older brother, whose plane was shot down in the middle of the war. He also senses the presence of the town's evil founding father —a man who lived 500 years before and was known as the Falcon. When he becomes circumstantially involved in the murder of an old peasant woman in Rome, the demonic past and present begin to become one in a story of terror and suspense.
