Introduction
From the Journal of Henry Morgan…..
Entry dated April 17, 2015 [New York City]
Events continue to move forward for Jo and me in all regards. As she continues to adjust to our immortal lifestyle, our lives intertwine increasingly. Our cases have never gone smoother. The walks in the park and duck feeding sessions invigorate us. I've rediscovered some of my older culinary skills which admittedly have languished with Abe's fantastic cooking.
Even Adam has not bothered us in months…. That in itself is a blessing….
Truly this is a time of bliss. I know I should not question such things but I have a gut feeling that something was about to happen….
…and just a week ago, my past came calling once more….
The Cloisters Museum received a prestigious loan from the Sorbonne—a rare sixteenth century text. Rumor had it that the book was some sort of demonic grimoire. Pure balderdash, I say… And yet it attracted attention. The Met had put together a panel to speak at the opening. Two of them were, as it turns out, old friends. The third, David Dubois, I met briefly as a boy….
…a boy with strange connections to say the least….
As I said before, the book's rumored past was bantered about. It attracted attention of the unsavory variety. One of these characters would turn the celebration on its ear bringing Dubois into direct conflict with Lieutenant Reece, Jo, Hanson and the NYPD itself forcing our agent friends, Petersen and Singleton, to pitch in.
Why is there no such thing as a simple gala anymore? Alas!
