Brenda Novak Boeken

Een vrouw en haar 5-jarig zoontje zijn onder een nieuwe naam en identiteit op de vlucht geslagen voor haar gewelddadige vriend; al snel zet deze de achtervolging in.

Ethan Wycliff - zelfbenoemd profeet en sekteleider - heeft het charisma van een verlicht man, maar is allesbehalve een heilige. Een afvallig sektelid dat openlijk kritiek heeft op 'de Verhevene', ontsnapt tenauwernood aan een steniging. Er gaan geruchten dat hij zijn volgelingen uitbuit en vrouwelijke leden van zijn sekte misbruikt. Undercoveragenten Nate Ferrentino en Rachel Jessop krijgen opdracht om - zogenaamd als echtpaar - de sekte te infiltreren. Hun doel: genoeg bewijs verzamelen om Ethan achter slot en grendel te kunnen zetten. Het lukt ze de sekte binnen te dringen, en Ethan ontvangt hen met open armen. Alles lijkt volgens plan te verlopen, tot de Verhevene Rachel uitkiest als zijn nieuwste bruid, en ze geofferd zal worden op het altaar van liefde. Nate beseft dat zijn partner in groot gevaar verkeert, maar ook dat Ethan koste wat het kost gestopt moet worden. Hij staat voor een onmogelijk dilemma: redt hij de missie, of Rachels leven?
