Judgment — M. Sue Alexander

It is imperitive to the Committee of Ten that people believe aliens stole millions of people from the planet in 2025 in order to thwart the spread of Christianity supported by the efforts of the 144,000 anointed Jewish missionaries. While Detective Andrew Taylor chases after a serial killer, his wife Mary travels to Rome, Italy to visit her son Andre's biological father, Lazarus Bacon. Andre's trances are worrisome to Mary and she suspects he is being manipulated by the suspect Antichrist, Dr. Luceres Ramnes, to support world government efforts. The Muslims are not quiet about what they want: the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. Detective Drew becomes despondent over Mary's absence and his disability, a lame leg caused from a bullet to the head. He seeks psychiatric counseling but it does not yield the results he hoped for. Poor choices lead him down a dark pathway and endanger his marriage to Mary. A spy is working withing the Fernwood PD. Detective Drew takes a leave of absence to chase down missing evidence that will convict serial-killer Caroline Sullivan of her crimes. This plot is twisted, dark with sometimes bright moments. Moses and Elijah's judgments continue to plague humankind and the planet. The story will leave readers wanting more.
