"I had to think long and hard about writing any of this down . . ."
So begins Detective Jimmy Feterello's account of three unspeakably
horrible cases. Knowing that alone he is no match for the
perpetrators, Jimmy turns to a wartime friend, Fior Firsen for
help. Firsen's tactics and easy way with the switchblade were
excessive even in Viet Nam. It's thirty years later and Firsen's
fury is back in modern day San Francisco . . . only this time . . .
it may not be enough. The perpetrators? The Angels of the Earth. A
coven of twenty-five members who capture Linda Lauman as she is
about to give birth. They bury her alive while she's in labor so
that her death and the death of her child will atone for the loss
of trees. The story begins in the wee hours of the morning at the
gravesite in Golden Gate Park as Feterello struggles to open the
coffin lid. He's too late this time. The Macoute Twins. A savage
pair of Haitian brothers whose MO is to invade a home and force the
family into a cannibalistic mass. They simultaneously invade homes
on opposite sides of town and leave behind a baffling trail of DNA
evidence. Feterello figures it out, but is frankly afraid to face
the monsters alone. The third case proves more perplexing. Initial
evidence points to a group of carnival face painters using their
art to dispense a devastating virus. Deeper analysis shows that a
rogue mercenary, Roqual Fauxfransez, is unleashing the cruel
poison. But why? The Mercenary is a tough talking and brutal novel
on the surface. Closer inspection isn't necessary but, when
performed, reveals an unsettling commentary about who we are and
how good addresses evil. Or, as Detective Feterello confesses, read
now about how in the middle of life we found strength in friendship
and managed to do something about what was wrong.
