      Mai 2009. Une série de morts inexplicables secoue la ville de New York. Accidentelles ou criminelles, elles n'ont, en soi, rien d'inexplicable : ce que la police ne comprend pas, c'est cette carte postale, reçue par les victimes, la veille de leur décès. Postées à Vegas, toutes indiquent la date exacte de la mort de leur destinataire. Un véritable casse-tête. Le profileur Will Piper, en congé pour raisons personnelles, reprend du service pour l'occasion. Il se dirigera bientôt vers la plus invraisemblable des vérités, quelque part entre l'île de Wight et le désert du Nevada... Entre un mystérieux monastère, au large de l'Angleterre, et la zone 51, la fameuse base secrète américaine... Ce qu'il y découvrira fera chavirer les plus solides certitudes de la pensée occidentale. Tout est-il écrit d'avance ? Le libre-arbitre est-il une illusion ? Quand recevrez-vous, vous aussi, l'irréversible carte postale ?
