The Devil’s Choir

When a megachurch pastor is found drowned in his own baptismal font, the water replaced with wine, Atlanta Homicide's Sergeant Nolan Anderson and Detective Maeve Mitchell know it is no ordinary crime. The chilling staging is liturgical, precise, and outfitted with a live recorder. As more of the city's clergy fall to biblical murders, the detectives uncover the CHOIR: a secret brotherhood of powerful clergy who had spent fifteen years covering up a fourteen-year-old girl's testimony to bury it. The dead are not the perpetrators. They are the protectors of the silence that shaped a family's grief.
The meticulous killer, working within the church's media ministry as Gideon Vale, is Gabriel Ward, the girl's brother. He spent a decade building a "suite" of confessions designed to expose what the city refused to hear. But his overlooked accomplice, desperate to matter, goes rogue and abducts Detective Maeve, forcing Nolan to split his focus between rescuing his partner and stopping a televised broadcast exposing a cover-up to forty states.
In a city where absolution is bought, Anderson navigates a deadly hunt and his own fragile sobriety. The Devil's Choir is a brutal, charged thriller about truth, grief, and the terrible cost of exposure.
