DESCRIPTION: 

My name is Officer Thomas Nolan, and I am a saint.

I can smell evil. I show mercy to the lesser criminals – the desperate. Even those I’ve put behind bars seem to like me. But now there’s a serial killer bringing darkness beyond imagination to my city. I can smell his stench a mile away. But how can I prove it?

How do you do forensics on a killer possessed by a demon?

MY REVIEW:

I was leary about picking up this book because I don’t believe in the cultism of religion, especially Catholics.  But, I love a good horror thriller so took the chance.  And, I’ll try to put my prejudice aside.  Something the author should’ve done.

This story definitely fit the bill for dark and gruesome.  His descriptions of the crime scenes were well depicted.  You could almost smell the evil that Nolan did.  It’s also action packed with lots of encounters so it was mostly a fast paced read.

The characters were okay.  But, no one I could really relate too.  Mostly because they’re one dimensional and Nolan was a real jerk.  I consider myself a moderate conservative and he disgusted me with his extreme right-wing ideology.  So, reader beware.  If you’re Pro-Choice, you do not want to read this book.

Aside from the overly political nature of this story, my other complaint is the weak storyline and how actions and deeds were done that were so unbelievable.  The NY DA would never speak to a suspect that way or jump to conclusions without some shred of physical evidence.  Then, there was the lack of editing which kept throwing me out of the story.

I can’t say I enjoyed the book and I felt like I needed to flush out my brain afterwards.  However, I can see where readers who are extreme right leaning and Pro-Life will love the story.  I give it 3-stars.
