After faking a criminal’s death, the CEO of a mysterious syndicate who made it happen calls upon the man to fulfill his calling to help them find a book that could destroy humanity once and for all.

What connects the inciting incident (Faking a criminal's death) and the goal (Finding a book that could destroy humanity)

I am not seeing the connection in the logline.

Hmmm. I?ve been trying to crack this one but am at all points confused. So many questions, here?s a start:

Is the man/criminal the protagonist? Why would he need to fake his death? Is the CEO is the baddie? And the man/criminal used to work for the CEO I take it?
And how is this book going to destroy humanity?
