Can you commit the perfect crime?
Pilgrim is the codename for a man who doesn’t exist - who once headed up a secret espionage unit for US intelligence. Before he disappeared into anonymous retirement, he wrote the definitive book on forensic criminal investigation.
But that book will come back to haunt him. It will help NYPD detective Ben Bradley track him down. And it will take him to a rundown New York hotel room where the body of an anonymous woman is found facedown in a bath of acid. It is a textbook murder – and Pilgrim wrote the book.
What begins as a challenging investigation will become a terrifying race-against-time to save America from oblivion. Pilgrim will have to take a journey from a public beheading in Mecca to a deserted ruins on the Turkish coast via a Nazi death camp in Alsace and the barren wilderness of the Hindu Kush in search of the faceless man who would commit an appalling act of mass murder in the name of his God.
