His inexplicable attraction to a beautiful woman surrounded by voodoo lore and mystery leads him much too close to an ancient curse and its deadly threat. To escape its diabolical evil, Gabriel, in a race against time and vile magics, must find the key to his survival … a key hidden in a shocking family history … With chilling scenes of black magic and intrigue, Sins of the Fathers is now a brilliant neo-Gothic thriller written by the creator and designer of the award-winning Gabriel Knight interactive adventures.

The trail of blood and violence leads straight to a members-only hunt club, whose charismatic leader inexplicable takes Gabriel under his wing and invites him behind the secret society’s closed doors.

Tormented by the siren call of an unholy desire, Gabriel must face his greatest enemy — the beast deep within his own soul … Note: This is an actual fiction novel based on Gabriel Knight 2, and not an actual game companion or game guide.
