  When a former sixties radical is murdered during a string of random sniper attacks, the All Souls Legal Cooperative must settle his surprisingly large estate. Then private investigator Sharon McCone comes across a new will, made just days before he died, that disinherits his two children in favor of four unknown and unconnected parties. McCone sifts through Perry Hilderly's belongings but finds little to explain this puzzling change. That is, until she uncovers a .357 with the serial number burned off. As McCone tracks down the new beneficiaries she discovers that the shootings aren't so random after all and that the dead man isn't the only one with a lurid past. To link the heirs to the killings, she must follow a treacherous trail of evidence that travels from the Vietnam years to the present. But along the way the elusive sniper waits in a homicidal rage and takes aim—this time at All Souls and Sharon McCone.

  It was four o'clock in the morning. A young woman pushed through the hospital doors. Staff would later say they thought the woman was a new mother, returning to her child - and in a way, she was. 
  She walked into the nursery, where a baby girl lay sleeping. The infant didn't wake when the woman placed her gently in the shopping bag she had brought with her. There is CCTV footage of what happened next, and most Australians would have seen it, either on the internet or the news. 
  The woman walked out to the car park, towards an old Corolla. For a moment, she held the child gently against her breast and, with her eyes closed, she smelled her. She then clipped the infant into the car, got in and drove off. 
  That is where the footage ends. It isn't where the story ends, however. It's not even where the story starts.

  WHEN YOU FIND THOSE WHO PREY ON THE INNOCENT, YOU HAVE FOUND THE BEAST ...It is 1979 and the Cold War tensions between the the United States and Soviet Union have risen to a peak of intensity that makes MAD—Mutually Assured Destruction—seem inevitable. But the nuclear arsenals, aimed at enemy cities across an ocean, are not the true weaponry in a global conflict that is seething to the point of eruption beneath the thin veneer of diplomacy and empty political agreements.Spiritual forces, powers of darkness and light, are gathering to battle for the soul and future of the world.Off the coast of Brazil, Brady, a young man who has received a beautiful and terrible gift from the Blessed Virgin, begins the dance of death, delivering long overdue vengeance on a Nazi war criminal who has been secreted in opulent shadows for decades. But killing one of Hitler’s most ruthless monsters is only a prelude. For now, Brady has unraveled the first thread of a mystery that will provoke the wrath of demons and angels alike.Brady, with the unwavering support of his brothers and sworn friends and allies—joined by spiritual descendants of an ancient order of Jewish warriors—will wage battles that send seismic tremors rippling throughout the Holy Land and the Vatican and all major world capitals—leading “the boy who can call angels” to a horror-filled chateau outside of Paris, and finally, to an ominous Irish castle. It there that Brady will face his greatest challenge, for the castle is home to The Bishop, a servant of the Beast; a man who preys upon the innocent; a man who has amassed incredible power while hiding within the vestiges of the Church.Brady’s only hope for survival—the world’s only hope—is wielding the Sword of Vengeance.

  December 1922, and society dressmaker Jemima Flowerday receives a letter from Lady Hamlash of Merry Beggars Hall, requesting three new gowns for the Christmas season. Lady Hamlash does not travel, so Jemima will need to visit the Hall in deepest Suffolk to work in situ.
  The commission appeals to Jemima for more than one reason. It will bring her some much-needed income. More interestingly, the remote manor house was the scene of a grisly murder earlier that year, when Lady Hamlash, inspecting her plants in the walled garden, found a man's severed head beneath a terracotta asparagus cloche.
  The murder was never solved.
  Jemima, addicted to mystery novels and with a proud history of solving crimes in her own world, is sure she can crack the case. That ambition becomes a little more complicated when, within hours of her arrival at Merry Beggars Hall, the household cook dies in front of her…

  The Sisterhood: a group of women from all walks of life bound by friendship and years of adventure. Armed with vast resources, top-notch expertise, and a loyal network of allies around the globe, the Sisterhood will not rest until every wrong is made right. 
    
  Theresa Gallagher has never met her Aunt Dottie, though she remembers her mother’s stories about the wild sister who left home at seventeen. When a letter arrives from one of Dottie’s neighbors, telling Theresa that her aunt is now incapacitated and in a nursing home, Theresa decides to fly out to Arizona to see her. 
    
  The staff at the Sunnydale Care Facility seem pleasant and efficient, but Theresa finds it strange that she’s only permitted to “observe” her elderly aunt from a viewing room. It’s the first of several red flags that lead Theresa to start asking questions. Is it just coincidence that as soon as she does, her car is almost run off the road? 
    
  Theresa contacts her attorney friend, Lizzie Fox, who just happens to be connected to a group of women uniquely posed to get answers. Soon the Sisterhood is on the case, uncovering evidence that at Sunnydale centers all over the country, seniors are mistreated, duped, and drained of their savings. But no one is beyond justice—not when the Sisterhood’s extraordinary women are involved, making wrongs right as only they can …
