God Is a Bullet

Boston Teran

An ex-member of a bloodthirsty cult must pair up with a police officer to take down the group's murderous leader in this dark, wrenching thriller about personal conviction, retribution, and survival.

"In a word: Wow. God Is a Bullet is a kick-ass, in-your-face tour de force from start to finish."--Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Match

Case Hardin has stared into the face of evil and lived. Now Case learns that the satanic cult that turned her from a lost child into a broken, drug-addicted shell of a woman has taken down more victims, butchering a man and a woman in their suburban home and abducting a young girl.

Fueled by rage and the need to redeem her life, Case teams up with the missing girl's father--a straight-arrow desk cop named Bob Hightower--to track the girl down. With Case as his mentor, Hightower will begin a hunt through the satanic underground few have encountered and even fewer have survived, to pry his child from the hands of a madman.
