A Mysterious Review of The Devil's Game by Sean Chercover. The Game Trilogy.
Review summary: This thriller suffers primarily from middle-book-in-a-trilogy syndrome, a thinly plotted story that acts as a bridge between the intriguing premise of the first book and the presumably exhilarating conclusion in the next. Still, it moves along briskly, is exciting for the most part, and is, with one notable exception, a fine read. (Click here for text of full review.)

Publisher synopsis: Daniel Byrne spent ten years as a Vatican investigator, scrutinizing and debunking miracle claims — until he burned that life to the ground when one investigation shook his faith and revealed disturbing earthly conspiracies. Determined to find the truth, he steps into a new life of secrets and lies, joining a powerful group that wields hidden influence over world events.
Daniel infiltrates a covert government facility and uncovers a bizarre new strain of the Plague that seems to flood the minds of its victims with visions of the future. Teaming up with disgraced physician Kara Singh, a woman beset with inexplicable visions of her own, Daniel traces the root of this deadly pathogen around the globe, and discovers a terrifying truth.
