Synopsis

Ray Sutton spent eighteen years in prison protecting the woman he loved. Now free, all he wants is a glimpse of the son he's never known—but when a charming con artist offers him one last score, Ray gambles everything on a chance to disappear and start over.

Detective Martin Satterly is counting down to retirement when homeless bodies start appearing in Skid Row, each one anointed with holy oil. With a young partner hungry for glory and a media circus threatening to engulf the case, Satterly races to stop a killer who believes he's sending lost souls to heaven.

Frank Timmons works the night shift at a gas station and cares for his dying mother. A faithful son and devout believer, he's found his calling: granting final mercy to the suffering and forgotten. With each execution, he moves closer to salvation—or damnation.

From the desperate streets of Skid Row to the gated mansions of Malibu, Extreme Unction is a crime novel with literary depth that examines what we owe the past, what we steal from the future, and whether any of us can truly start over.
