Evil exists. Evil walks the streets. And evil has spawned a diabolical new disciple in this white-knuckle thriller from New York Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen.

PECCAVI

The Latin is scrawled in blood at the scene of a young woman’s brutal murder: I HAVE SINNED. It’s a chilling Christmas greeting for Boston medical examiner Maura Isles and Detective Jane Rizzoli, who swiftly link the victim to controversial celebrity psychiatrist Joyce O’Donnell–Jane’s professional nemesis and member of a sinister cabal called the Mephisto Club.

On tony Beacon Hill, the club’s acolytes devote themselves to the analysis of evil: Can it be explained by science? Does it have a physical presence? Do demons walk the earth? Drawing on a wealth of dark historical data and mysterious religious symbolism, the Mephisto scholars aim to prove a startling theory: that Satan himself exists among us. With the grisly appearance of a corpse on their doorstep, it’s clear that someone–or something–is indeed prowling the city. Soon, the members of the club begin to fear the very subject of their study. Could this maniacal killer be one of their own–or have they inadvertently summoned an evil entity from the darkness?

Delving deep into the most baffling and unusual case of their careers, Maura and Jane embark on a terrifying journey to the very heart of evil, where they encounter a malevolent foe more dangerous than any they have ever faced . . . one whose work is only just beginning.©2006 Tess Gerritsen; (P)2006 Random House, Inc.

The Mephisto Club

Fascinating story of a shadowy group that calls themselves the Mephisto Club and a police woman and a woman medical examiner who are trying to track down who ever is killing members of the Mephisto Club

Love all Tess Gerritsen books!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Mephisto Club to be better than the print version?

I like audio books for long road trips. Kathe Mazur dues a great job of Dr. Isles.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Mephisto Club?

How art meets science, the secret Illuminati, and kind of historical air to it.

Which character – as performed by Kathe Mazur – was your favorite?

Dr. Isles

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Had to remember when to gas up, so I guess so!

Worth the Listen!

This is a very well written book, and quite enjoyable!

I am not a fan of books about "EVIL" and the darkside, but I heard the book was worth it, so I gave it a shot.

My only knock on the audiobook is the reading. Due to the way the book was written, it was difficult to determine who was speaking until you were a few minutes into the persona. The book should have had multiple readers. Plus, her Boston accent is atrocious. The only thing worse than a Boston accent is a bad impression of a Boston accent :)

Overall; however, a very enjoyable audiobook!

Great mystery!

I was definitely enveloped by this story, loved the way it was written. You get to experience the perspectives of the various characters. You'll get to know them so well that their actions will seem so natural to you, not fake and fiction. The suspense will keep you listening! I must admit that I did double check my door/window locks every night while I was listening to this book!

a little on the weird side

Would you try another book from Tess Gerritsen and/or Kathe Mazur?

This book is based alot on religion. It wasn't her best story but since i love the series I got through it.
