In the shadowed underbelly of Miami, a ritualistic killer is staging his victims as veiled brides in abandoned churches - each murder marked by black lace and a single black rose. When the daughter of a powerful senator is found dead on an altar, former FBI profiler Dr. Elaine Vonmills is pulled back into a nightmare she thought she'd left behind. Teaming with cynical detective Marcus Hale, Elaine uncovers a deadly conspiracy known as the Pact - a secret network of powerful men who have buried sins for decades through cover-ups, forced adoptions, and silenced voices.
As the body count rises and the killer's cult-like "covenant" spreads, the murders become deeply personal. The killer knows Elaine's past. He knows her faith. And he knows how to break her. With her own family now in the crosshairs and her body failing from multiple sclerosis, Elaine must confront the darkest secrets of Miami's elite before the final veil falls - on someone she loves.
