THE PARADISE PROPHECY (Dutton, hardcover, on-sale July 21, 2011):

A spectacular thriller inspired by John Milton’s Paradise Lost in which the
final chapter of the War in Heaven is about to play out on Earth, with the
fate of humanity hanging in the balance.

The Myth

When God cast the archangel Satan into Hell, ending the War in Heaven, peace
prevailed on Earth. Until the fallen angels took revenge in the Garden of
Eden. Ever since, mankind has been in a struggle between good and evil,
paradise and apocalypse: the fall of Rome, The Crusades, World Wars, nuclear
proliferation, the Middle East Crisis… The War in Heaven never really
ended-it just changed venues. For millennia, God’s angels have been fighting
Satan’s demons on Earth, all in hopes of bringing about Satan’s greatest
ambition, the Apocalypse.

The Reality

Satan has never been closer to his goal than right now.

Agent Bernadette Callahan is a talented investigator at a shadowy government
organization known only as Section, on the trail of a serial killer with
nearly supernatural abilities. Sebastian “Batty” LaLaurie is a religious
historian who knows far too much about the other side- and that hard-earned
knowledge is exactly what Callahan needs. This unlikely duo pair up for a
race across the globe, decoding clues left in ancient texts from the Bible
to Paradise Lost and beyond. In the process they stumble upon a vast
conspiracy-one beyond the scope of mankind’s darkest imagination.
