Soul of Evil

Lieutenant Michael Holmes is investigating the case of missing child, seven year-old Isaac Menis. The police find his corpse and that he was murdered! The investigation is complex and increasing pressure is put on the detectives to find suspects. The first candidate is identified: Joshua Solomon-the mysterious leader of a religious cult whose relationship with children raises cause for concern. Another character who could have reason to want Isaac’s disappearance to remain permanent is the partner of Isaac’s mother, Gideon, a gynecologist, who sees the child as an interfering obstacle to his efforts to control Isaac's mother? An ominous air pervades this book, re-enforced by sinister misinterpretations of the Old Testament and Nietzsche. Eventually a trial is held and it is only at the end of the trial that the terrifying truth is exposed. The story is told in a series of fast moving scenes that heighten the tension and carry the reader along to reach a cliff-hanging conclusion.
