With his final breath Abraham leaves Brooklyn with a cryptic message Remember the Devil and gives her a pricelessand supposedly cursedcopy of Goethes Faust for safe-keeping. Brooklyn suddenly finds herself accused of murder and theft thanks to Derek Stone the humorlessand annoyingly attractiveBritish security officer who found her kneeling over the body.
