Kniha vracia do sveta náboženského extrémizmu detektíva seržanta Washingtona Poea a analytičku Tilly Bradshaw, ktorí majú vyšetriť vraždu Cornelia Greena a odhaliť praktiky sekty Jóbove deti. Tilly bojuje s nejasnými tetovaniami — kódmi obete; prípad súvisí s masakrom spred pätnástich rokov, pribúdajú ďalšie mŕtvoly a do vyšetrovania vstupuje tajomné kreslo milosti, o ktorom ľudia radšej mlčia a niektorí sú preň ochotní zomrieť. Autor Mike Craven vrství sprisahania, psychologickú hĺbku postáv a temné témy ako náboženský extrémizmus, konverznú terapiu a dievčenskú traumu, vďaka čomu je šiesty diel jedným z najdramatickejších v sérii.
