Holy Terror

Miami police detectives Lane Madigan and Ian Jelani are investigating yet another horrific crime in "The Magic City". Unbeknownst to them, they are not alone, as police around the country are investigating the same types of crimes being committed. But the victims of these crimes are not your typical victims. They are the worst of the worst; people who may have thought themselves to be untouchable, but they are dead wrong about that.

None of them knew what was coming, and none of them will ever be the same again...

Detective Jelani is a tough, veteran cop, who earned his stripes in the rough-and-tumble streets of St. Louis before relocating to Miami.  His younger partner, Detective Madigan, is brash and confident.  But they were not prepared to become embroiled in a series of cosmic events they could never have dreamt of.  In a world where the angels of heaven and the angels of hell bring their ageless battle to Earth, how will these men and their families overcome such insurmountable challenges?

As has been the case since the beginning of time, God and His heavenly host are facing off with Satan and his hellish host.  Caught in the middle is Thumos, possibly the most powerful angel ever created.  He is a warrior angel, "quickened" by God for one thing: battle.  And he has seen plenty of that through the centuries.  No one catch match his prowess, not even the Archangels.  But Thumos has become a disgruntled warrior of God, and after standing by for long enough, he can take it no more.

The earthly world of these two Miami detectives will collide with the heavenly world of Thumos and the consequences could change it all.
