    Call it a premonition. Call it intuition. Call it anything you like, but Pennsylvania State Trooper Jerry McNeal simply thinks of it as “that feeling.” 
    That feeling may come on without warning, so intense he can’t breathe. 
    Or, it may be a gentle nag that pulls at him until he decides to do something about it. He never quite knows what “it” is until he gets there, but when he arrives, he always knows he’s found what he is looking for. 
    During one of the biggest snowstorms of the year, Trooper McNeal feels that familiar stir. An unease that grows with each flake that falls. Its intensity pulls at him until Jerry has no choice but to venture out onto the treacherous roads, following an invisible pull that grips at his very soul. 
    Tonight, that feeling is going to take Trooper McNeal into a blizzard when the streets are supposed to be empty to save a life that would have otherwise been lost. 
    Only tonight, Trooper McNeal is not going alone…

    Four years of silence shattered with one body. The Moralist has returned. 
    When a teenage girl's body is found in Bishop Park, Detective Walker Michaels knows the signature immediately. The brutal serial killer who once terrorized their Georgia town has struck again with trademark religious symbolism and chilling precision. But this time the evidence hints at something far more dangerous. 
    The victim's deeply religious family crumbles under grief and suspicion. Their church community harbors forbidden desires and dark obsessions concealed behind righteous facades. Every lead uncovers buried secrets, and in a world where faith masks depravity, everyone becomes a suspect. 
    Walker soon discovers this murder has reawakened a dormant evil, and the truth behind it is far more personal and devastating than anyone imagined. When the line between justice and vengeance dissolves, the final confrontation will shatter everything Walker thought he knew. 
    This gripping crime thriller blends small-town secrets, religious hypocrisy, and shocking revelations into a relentless hunt for the truth.
