A series of murders following a religious ritual shake the Paris region while numerous strange phenomena cause panic in Africa and America...

In the 13th century, monks hide strange gospels in a crypt before being executed by a mysterious knight. In the present day, Pierre Demange, a historian specializing in the Bible, is asked by a priest friend to translate a text written in Old French that could indicate the location of the manuscripts. At the same time, strange phenomena are taking place in Africa and Latin America. As photos and videos of apparitions are circulated on the Internet, evangelical pastors seize on the phenomenon and alert their followers to the imminent arrival of the Beast of the Revelation. In the Paris region, a series of atrocious crimes is committed, with the first victim being the priest who contacted Pierre Demange. All the murdered people have the sign "666" burned into their foreheads. For Lieutenant Martin Delpech, each of these murders corresponds to a specific religious rite. But the devil's signs can be deceptive...

Discover the first volume of one of Lieutenant Delpech's investigations, as he attempts to unravel the devil's clues.

WHAT THE CRITICS THINK

Passionate about the story behind the Gospels, as he explains at the end of the book, Gilbert Laporte uses this subject to create an original and very well-crafted plot, on a theme that has already been explored several times, around the psychology of the murderer, and greed in particular. A very good first novel with fluid writing but also dynamic when necessary. A must-read! - Aucafélittérairedecéline, Babelio
