    FBI Agent Rachel Gift, 33, unparalleled for her ability to enter the minds of serial killers, is a rising star in the Behavioral Crimes Unit—until a routine doctor visit reveals she has but a few months left to live.
    
    Not wishing to burden others with her pain, Rachel decides, agonizing as it is, not to tell anyone—not even her boss, her partner, her husband, or her seven-year-old daughter. She wants to go down fighting, and to take as many serial killers with her as she can.
    
    When a string of apparent suicides piques her suspicion, Rachel is on the case. 
    
    In an epic game of cat and mouse, can she stay healthy enough to outsmart the killer and catch him before it’s too late? 
    
    And can she keep her own demons—and her own traumatic past—at bay?

    STANDING IN THE SHADOW OF DEATH - THE SWORD OF DAMASCUS 
    BOOK 3 OF 3 IN THE DEMON GORGE TRILOGY – THE FINALE 
    Gideon couldn’t believe what he was seeing. He was spellbound and awe-stricken. 
    The apparition glided nearer and nearer. The detective could now see clearly that the spirit was carrying in her arms an actual baby child, alive and well, one that was as beautiful as one of the cherubim of heaven with a yellow halo of light encircling its form. It was only the light that illuminated the woman’s form. 
    Gideon remained frozen, not moving a limb of his body. 
    The apparition glided over to the dry well. Then, with her back to Gideon, the baby clasped to her chest, and her head bent over the edge of the well, she looked down into the deep, dark shaft below her. 
    “Oh, my God,” Gideon whispered, “by all that is Holy!” cried the detective. “By the power of the Holy Spirit, be it ghost or flesh and blood, I will not allow her to throw that child into the well!” 
    And with that said, he began running up to the well where the woman or spirit stood, ready to kill another child. Finally, he got there where the radiant form of the woman with the baby in her hands and her eyes fixed on the depths of the well in front of her! 
    Gideon reached her, intending to seize her from behind and whirl her with the child from the brink of the dry well. But ---.”

    Since my divorce, women have served a solitary purpose for me. The last thing I needed in my life was the headache of a relationship. I had no time or energy for anyone other than my son and my club. 
     
     
     
    But when a chance encounter with my son's teacher turned into something I didn't expect, I tossed aside all my reservations and took a chance. 
     
     
     
    I should've kept my distance. I should've listened when she told me she had doubts about us, suspicions which she was yet to find out were justified, and let her walk away. 
     
     
     
    When our situation with the club heated up, posing a threat to everyone I knew, I could've convinced myself being without her was the best choice. But I was selfish and refused to picture my life without her. 
     
     
     
    Will my decision to keep her close put her further in danger, exposing her to a life she never asked for? 
     
     
     
    And would she be able to find it in her heart to forgive me if my fear ever came true? 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
