Since the death of her partner/lover in the line of duty,
Las Vegas homicide detective Payce Halligan has worked the
streets alone. Now Payce finds herself assigned a new
partner, British ex-cop Gavin McAllister, who has some past
baggage of his own to deal with. Of course, they are
attracted to each other, but neither is ready to pursue the
matter further, especially since they are dealing with a
rash of ritualistic murders involving religious overtones.
Female victims are crucified and left suspended upside down
on items resembling crosses.
They soon learn that a man calling himself CA (Crucifying
Angel) is out to rid the world of harlots who threaten the
New Creation, a religious cult on the outskirts of Las
Vegas and a front for something even more sinister. And CA
is being manipulated by The Messenger, the illusive head of
New Creation. But all this knowledge comes at a terrible
price when Payce is taken captive and Gavin must find her
before she, too, becomes a victim of CA.
The action is fast and furious in this futuristic suspense,
but leaves many unanswered questions and dangling plot
threads at its conclusion. This cliffhanger leads into the
next installments in the Future Imperfect series,
MIRACULOUS DECEPTION (6/10) and FINAL DECEIT (1/11), also
in e-book format only. It's obvious you'll have to read
them for a truly satisfying conclusion to the story arc.
A serial killer with an unholy mission is unleashed on
deteriorating sin city Las Vegas and LVPD Homicide
Detectives Payce Halligan and her new partner, British ex-
Deputy Chief Inspector begin a deadly cat and mouse game as
each must deal with their own traumatic past and their
evolving attraction.
