Mary decides to leave the school to find her sister, who owns La Sagesse, a cosmetics company in New York City. </p><p>Upon arriving in New York, Mary finds that Jacqueline sold her cosmetics business eight months earlier to her assistant, Esther Redi. Jacqueline's close friend and La Sagesse employee, Frances Fallon, claims to have seen Jacqueline the week before at Dante, an Italian restaurant in <a href="/wiki/Greenwich_Village" title="Greenwich Village">Greenwich Village</a>. Mary soon discovers that Jacqueline has rented a room above Dante, without having moved in. Mary convinces the owners to let her see the room, which she finds empty aside from a wooden chair and above it a <a href="/wiki/Noose" title="Noose">noose</a> hanging from the ceiling. While at Dante, Mary meets Jason Hoag, a poet, who offers to help find her sister. </p><p>Mary's investigation leads her to several individuals who knew Jacqueline, including her secret husband, attorney Gregory Ward, and a psychiatrist, Dr. Louis Judd. Mary learns Jacqueline had been a patient of Judd's, seeking treatment for depression stemming from her membership in a <a href="/wiki/Satanism" title="Satanism">Satanic</a> <a href="/wiki/Cult" title="Cult">cult</a> called the <a href="/wiki/Palladists" class="mw-redirect" title="Palladists">Palladists</a>, and her subsequent efforts to leave the group. Jacqueline was lured into joining the cult by her former co-workers at La Sagesse, particularly Esther. </p><p>Mary enlists private detective Irving August to help locate Jacqueline. When Mary accompanies him to La Sagesse after hours, Irving is stabbed to death by an unseen assailant. Mary flees into the subway, where she witnesses two men board her car, carrying Irving's corpse between them. She attempts to alert the police, but the men vanish with Irving's body before they arrive. </p><p>Judd offers to bring Mary to visit Jacqueline at his residence, where she has been in hiding. There, Mary is briefly met by Jacqueline, who gestures her to be quiet before again vanishing. Determined to remain in New York, Mary takes a job at a kindergarten. Some time later, Esther breaks into Mary's apartment and confronts her in the shower, claiming that Jacqueline murdered Irving and urging Mary to return to Highcliffe. Mary tells Gregory and Jason what Esther told her and they resolve to locate Jacqueline and have her surrender herself to police for Irving's murder. They unite with Judd, who takes them to meet Jacqueline. </p><p>Jacqueline recounts how she came to join the Palladists, as well as how she inadvertently killed Irving, believing him to be an assassin sent by the cult to kill her. (The Palladists have a rule that any member who betrays the cult must die, and they believe Jacqueline betrayed them by discussing the cult to Judd, an outsider.) </p><p>The cult members congregate to decide Jacqueline's fate. She would be the seventh person condemned for betrayal since the founding of the cult. However, the cult does not believe in directly committing acts of violence, feeling it is only permissible as a last resort. Instead, they goad perceived offenders into committing suicide. Frances, because of her profound attachment to Jacqueline, begs the cult members to spare her, to no avail. </p><p>The cultists kidnap Jacqueline and, over several hours, try to browbeat her into killing herself as she has long been suicidal anyway. They offer her a cup of poison. When she refuses to drink it, they let her leave, but send an assassin to follow her. The assassin chases her through the streets with a <a href="/wiki/Switchblade_knife" class="mw-redirect" title="Switchblade knife">switchblade</a>, but she eludes him and returns to her rented room above Dante. Simultaneously, Jason and Judd confront the Palladists, condemning them for their dedication to evil, and recite lines from the <a href="/wiki/Lord%27s_Prayer" title="Lord's Prayer">Lord's Prayer</a> in response to Mr. Brun's (a high-ranking member of the cult) <a href="/wiki/Nihilism" title="Nihilism">nihilistic</a> philosophical explanation for their doctrine. </p><p>In the rooming house hallway, Jacqueline briefly encounters her neighbor, Mimi, a terminally ill young woman. Mimi confesses to Jacqueline that she is afraid to die, and plans to have one last night out on the town. Jacqueline enters her own apartment and apparently hangs herself; Mimi hears the thud of the chair falling over as she leaves for the evening. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2
