Light of Judgment
Written by: D.L. Rankin
“When the need arises, God won’t bother with plagues and floods. He’ll just send me.” Someone is murdering L.A.’s most depraved criminals. As a favor to the LAPD, former drug-runner, turned cop, turned millionaire playboy, Hale Parrish, agrees to use his supernatural talents to investigate. His search is short-lived when the vigilante, referring to himself as “Judgment,” tracks Hale down to reveal a life-changing secret: both of them are members of an elite bloodline chosen to enact God’s wrath upon the wicked. While Hale decides whether his birthright is a blessing or a curse, shadows from his criminal past emerge, forcing him to face his demons, protect his family, and reclaim control of his destiny. At 90,000 words, Light of Judgment is a dark, gritty, fast-paced thriller with spiritual undertones.
