In a desperate battle between big business and big religion, Texas homicide detective Dan Reles must solve a murder?and save himself

A rich stew of murder and corruption connects the state capital, the oil industry, and a powerful evangelical church as Michael Simon returns to the Austin Homicide Squad and Detective Dan Reles, featured in the acclaimed thrillers Dirty Sally and Body Scissors.

Judah Cavanaugh, ejected from the Branch Davidians for excessive zeal, has entrenched herself at the estate of oil heiress and Republican kingmaker Suzanne Addison Wade.

Meanwhile, ex-child star Faith Copeland is discovered murdered in her garage apartment, and the wrongful arrest of single mother Carla Ortiz has cast her thirteen-year-old son into Austin?s sinful streets.

READER?S GUIDE INCLUDED

Story Behind the Book

?One day, while driving with my family, I caught a glimpse of my children?s faces in the rearview mirror. I was struck by their innocence and unawareness of anything evil in the world. As a police officer, I was intimately acquainted with evil and wanted to keep my children far from such knowledge. But I knew someday they would leave the comfort and security of our home. And I wondered, Was I equipping them with the spiritual training they would need to face the world ahead of them? Was I truly raising my children in the ways of the Lord? What would I do if one of my children were in the clutches of the evil one? And how far would I go to get them back??
