Misanthropy: Book II: The Cellar Door

The epic story continues in Misanthropy: Book II, swinging beneath the unstable pendulum of an unknown world, not handing out any divine magnanimity along the way. But one thing has changed-their names. Shaken with dwindling spirits, Deadman and Damascus extend their journey past the forbidden Tower (where Montaset now ascends) and onto the Cellar Door. Past characters have their own chores at hand, while the story fills with many new faces... new hopes... and new evils. Misanthropy: Book II: The Cellar Door is the second book in a series.

The Sultan is dying. His three sons are locked in a battle of intrigue and assassination plots, each vying to succeed him and become guardian of the Secret of Secrets. Religious conflicts rock the Kara-ul Empire and civil war looms as the subjugated Idel tribes riot in their slums. An empire can survive civil war, but will it survive the emergence of its secret? Orhan seeks nothing more than to escape his bleak life in the Idel slums. A grave robber, selling artifacts to a heretical Kara-ul noble, he discovers a tomb and steals a book from a sleeping God's warm fingers. He is followed by a feminine voice with a lavender scent who says his blood isn't pure enough to be the Rose. But Orhan is already on The Path of the Rose: a course of learning followed by ancient Idel kings. Amidst a corrupt society that has forgotten the hallowed ideals of its past, he begins to understand the potency of a people yearning to be loosed from their bondage. He struggles to come to terms with the role he represents, the power he is gaining, and the growing realization he may be more than the Secret of Secrets. Path of the Rose is the first novel in the Golden Dawn series.

Serial killers are smart and learn how to avoid capture.   The question is, can this one outwit the nation's foremost expert that is finally assigned to the case?  Sam Adams is the Special Agent in charge of an elite FBI unit that tracks serial killers.  It took a congressional aide, who is the son of one of the victims and the help of a DC Metro detective, to convince the FBI that the cases were related.  The three of them set off on a course to track this animal down and bring him to justice.
