Dark supernatural romance spy adventure! James Bond meets Constantine with sly dark humor and kick-ass action sequences set against a Dan Brown-flavored background. It's all action with a hefty serving of supernatural horror and witchcraft. Playboy lady-killer, lover, assassin, (almost) immortal, Betrayer... he works exclusively for the shadowy Vatican Secret Service. This century he's known as Simon Pound. But Simon has a secret--he is Judas Iscariot, who made a certain Deal right after putting the rope around his own neck. Now an expert assassin for the VSS, his assignment is to guard the Vatican and the world against evil. Most of his missions are routine assassinations, but occasionally Simon becomes avenger and executioner. Simon's handler is Cat Galassi, an adept who also works for the Vatican, and who has a history with Simon. What's a vile religious artifact--which had once been safely locked away in the famed secret Vatican archives--doing beneath a mall construction site in Queens? And why are people dying all around it--dying, but only after being brutally tortured? Where are the other four missing vile statuettes? Who is behind the fanatics of the New Golden Dawn, and why are they gunning for Simon Pound? And now the secret demon prison beneath the Vatican is about to be breached. Simon's personal code is as ambiguous as he is. He's an immortal who loves women, wine, music, the good life...and murder...in equal amounts. But how sane can he be, after two thousand years?
