Jael Reynolds is a divorced single mom who's doing her best to raise her son in Dadesville, one of Florida's most violent and drug-infested cities. She's also one of the city's top homicide detectives-a tough, no-nonsense Christian woman who has faced her demons and won, witnessing the mercy of God through prayer and faith. When one drug dealer after another starts turning up dead on her watch, Jael teams up with the only other person who seems to care, FBI Special Agent Grant Lewis. The two soon uncover layer after layer of corruption, organised bigotry, and hate that justifies murder in the name of God. Gripped in the clutches of an evil she has never encountered before, Jael's sense of right and wrong, and indeed her very faith, are put to their ultimate test.

An anthology of twenty original short crime works features murder mysteries committed or solved by fantastical means and includes contributions by such writers as Diane Duane, Lawrence Watt-Evans, and Mercedes Lackey.
