Father Marcus Kane was once the Vatican's most gifted investigator. Now defrocked and working from a condemned South Side church, he takes the cases nobody else will touch.
When ritual murders begin targeting Chicago's hidden Nephilim community -- angel-human hybrids facing extinction at the Church's hands -- Marcus teams with Detective Sarah Chen to track a killer with thirty-six victims and one more name on his list. Number thirty-seven is Lily Kane. Marcus's teenage niece.
Joseph Kramer has spent thirty-seven years believing he can save his people through the Ritual of Transference -- an ancient Vatican loophole that builds a legal case before Heaven for Nephilim salvation. But the ritual is flawed. If he wins, he damns every Nephilim that will ever live.
Navigating a Chicago where Death runs a jazz bar, demon attorneys broker cosmic contracts, and the Vatican's black ops division hunts the supernatural underworld, Marcus uncovers the truth his father died to protect. Jonathan Kane refused to participate in the 1987 Church massacre. Torretti had him killed for it. And Kramer built his list from the names Jonathan Kane left behind.
Sins of the Father is the first book in the Covenant Files series -- urban fantasy noir where the most dangerous institution in a world of angels and demons is the one that has been deciding who deserves to live for two thousand years.
Genre: Urban Fantasy
