The great cities are dying, like the country, from the heart out. The Redemption Presidency tolerates vigilantes who kill according to Biblical example. The police subcontract freelancers. Diane Fletcher is one of them. She is also cursed with the gift of seeing and feeling the emotions of others. Set in a future where right-wing theology has merged with government, the novel explores current religious and philosophical trends, creating an action filled journey of adventure and intrigue.
