Summary: The hunt isn’t over. The truth has yet to be revealed. And the line between love and obsession has never been thinner. FBI profiler Mateo Garcia came to New Orleans chasing a serial killer. What he uncovered instead was The Veil—an esoteric cult entwined with organized crime, where every lead unravels into deeper lies and every step forward drags him closer to the edge.
