In Crisis of Faith, the indomitable Edmund Blythe returns, a year removed from his last harrowing adventure, now settled in the heart of America as a US Marshal in New York City.
Life seems relatively peaceful until the fateful evening of October 31, 1817.
Responding to a chilling report of a gruesome death in the rural town of Bedford, Edmund arrives to a scene that chills him to the core. A woman, bound to a vertical stake on her own property, has been ruthlessly burned alive, leaving behind nothing but her charred remains. Inside her home, a letter, inked in the woman's own blood, unfurls a twisted gospel, detailing her alleged sins and justifying her horrifying execution.
As the authorities grapple with the nightmarish brutality of the crime, shockwaves ripple through the region. Then, another victim emerges north of the city, found tied to a vertical stake, with yet another blood-soaked page of the gospel. Edmund recognizes the disturbing pattern – a killer is targeting women, meting out savage justice in a manner reminiscent of the long-past Catholic Inquisition.
Within the pages of the killer's gospel, hidden amid his fanatical beliefs, lie cryptic clues, signs of a tortured soul subconsciously crying out. With each horrifying murder, the stakes escalate, and Edmund realizes the race to capture the madman is a race against time.
Haunted by the possibility of someone he deeply cares for becoming the next victim, Edmund must navigate the treacherous labyrinth of a killer's mind, decipher the coded messages, and unravel the truth hidden within the dark gospel.
Crisis of Faith is a heart-pounding thriller that delves into the depths of madness and obsession, where the pursuit of justice becomes a battle against a force fueled by twisted faith and unspeakable cruelty. Will Edmund get to the killer before it's too late, or will the shadow of the past consume them all?
