Author of HIGH VELOCITY DIGITAL MARKETING and BE A STARTUP SUPERSTAR, Steven M. Kahan brings us, A PRAYER BEFORE DYING. Written with two-time NY Times best-selling Author, Tim Arnold, who partnered with James Patterson on THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR and NOONERS, and Jassy Mackenzie, author of PRIVATE GOLD co-written with James Patterson.

The second book of the Hunter Harden Series, following, THE DREAM IMMUNITY PACT

Can there be demonic, dark values hidden in the hearts of pious endorsers of faith? Detective Hunter Harden is convinced there is, and he’s determined to get to the bottom of the evil behavior they have festered.
There’s a dark shape at the far end of the Angelus Rosedale Cemetery casting shadows against adjacent tombstones, made to flicker by some kind of fire’s flame in front of it. A silhouette that stands out in this dark, clear night. A police detective approaches it, gun drawn, on assignment, given the recent strange murders in the Pico-Union district of Los Angeles. It’s a person he sees, facing away from him, motionless. Looks like it’s on its knees, with its hands locked in front of its torso. With his gun aimed straight at the person’s head the detective steps around to the front. It’s dead! He’s dead. Stark naked. Stiff with rigor mortis. Hands bound. No noticeable wounds. Frozen in postured prayer. Head bowed to a medieval torch in the ground in front of him, its wrapped fabric aflame, soaked in some kind of fuel.
Detective Hunter Harden’s career has already taken him to hell and back, and now he’s pulled back there again. This is the second victim the LAPD has found, both of them in the same, sacrilegious pose, as if either a blinded religious fanatic or a faithless denier is on a mission. A mission from a god of their choice. Turns out there will be more.
