Commander Gray Pierce discovers his house ransacked, his pregnant lover missing; his best friend Monk's wife, Kat, is unconscious on the kitchen floor, and Kat's two daughters have vanished. Kat is in a semi-comatose state and cannot speak-- until a brilliant neurologist offers a radical approach to "unlock" her mind long enough to ask a few questions. Soon Sigma Force is on a frantic quest for answers to mysteries reaching back to the Spanish Inquisition and to one of the most reviled and blood-soaked books in human history: a Medieval text known as the Malleus Maleficarum, the Hammer of Witches. What they uncover forces them to confront the ultimate question: What does it mean to have a soul? -- adapted from jacket
