New Orleans Police Officer Stephen Calvert does more than just shield the people of the Big Easy from crime. Since he was a small boy, Stephen has been entrusted with an extraordinary gift-or maybe it's a curse. He perceives the world of spirits, angels, demons, and even more malevolent creatures-and what's more, it is his responsibility to fight them, to protect the world from these supernatural forces. Now an adult, Stephen must root out an ancient evil amassing around New Orleans. In the city of Voodoo, this public servant-a devout Catholic and mere mortal-must battle the forces of the rising Antichrist with only his wits and strong faith to guide him. And the stakes couldn't be higher. Fighting through a maze of dive bars, seedy businessmen, corrupt cops, and other hidden dangers, Stephen finds himself in the struggle of his life as he hastens to learn who to trust and who to vanquish before the Antichrist unleashes his infinite wrath upon an unwitting world. Frank Rodriguez's exciting novel is based in part on his personal experiences as a New Orleans cop. Dark, suspenseful, and faith-affirming, this book takes on the eternal battle between darkness and light.
