When Detective Jena Campbell uncovered evidence that convicted the Leviticus killer 5 years ago, she was a local hero. Now a man calling himself Azrael has kidnapped the governor’s son Jack and is systematically killing jurors from the Leviticus trial until the governor pardons him and sets him free. Both killers are inspired by the bible, Leviticus seeking justice through stoning sexual predators, and Azrael unleashing plagues on his victims. Jena and her fellow police officers are in over their heads.

I liked the religious zealotry aspect of the plot, but not the technological twist of using virtual reality to kill people. I also enjoyed the multi-media storytelling. Non only do we have Jena’s first person narrative and Jack’s third person account, but they are interspersed with police reports, investigation notes, lawyer’s observations, newspaper articles, and other devices that lent depth to the story. Overall, I thought it was a bit over-the-top as far as the scope of the crimes, the supervillainy, and the incompetence of Jena and her team.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher.
