Publisher's summary
Every day, pilgrims seek absolution at the Basilica of Mariazell. Like the painter who sees impossible things. Or the stranger who remembers people she's never met. Or the Time Agents trapped in the town that time forgot.
But Christoph Haizmann will have no absolution. Once, he made a deal, and at last the Devil has come to collect.

Worldbuilding
- Keira insists that "Agent Doctor" is her intern, but he objects, pointing out that he's the one driving.
- Elinor Daxus has a reversion seal, which is standard Time Agent technology, used as a last resort. It traps its user in a time loop.
- Elinor's reversion seal strongly resembles a rosary.
- "The Devil" is actually named Velias. He's a Discordia. On their first encounter, the Doctor calls him "Mephistopheles".
- The Time Agency puts its employees through sensitivity training. Keira also comments on their headquarters unflatteringly.
- Velias uses blood hypnosis, borrowed from the Sycorax, and reality modifiers.
- He also has technology built by the Daleks, Thijarians and the Maya.
- The Doctor suggests that the people of Mariazel invent the snow globe to keep themselves occupied.
