Karanlığın Çarkı

Back Cover Article (From the Promotional Bulletin)

In the dangerous depths of the Himalayas, perched like a black crow on a rock, the monastery and the sealed Tibetan chest containing a dark secret have been guarded by monks for a thousand years. But the secret is now in evil hands. The priests, who are the guardians of the sealed chest, have to get help from the outside world to get back this secret that they have been keeping from the world for a thousand years, which may bring the end of humanity.

Special Agent Aloysius Pendergast, who gained the trust of the monks while training his body and mind in Tibet, comes to the rescue. Pendergast and his assistant Constance track the chest from the snowy mountains to the port where the largest ocean liner is preparing for its maiden voyage. They find themselves on this ship after the first murder committed for the sake of the secret. A deadly race begins as the ship moves through the dark waters of the North Atlantic. Moreover, in order to solve the mystery of this secret that threatens not only the thousands of passengers of the ship but also the world, FBI agent Pendergast has to face his greatest fear: The darkness within him.
