Brigham Stone: Destroying Angel, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

They killed the perfect missionary. His brother is the perfect mercenary. Now he's wearing the name tag to hunt them down.

Elder Rockwell Barnes was the golden boy-a faithful missionary serving in the slums of Rio de Janeiro. When he is gunned down in a favela, the official report calls it a tragic "wrong turn." A faction of the Church wants it buried. The police case is closed before the bodies are cold.

They forgot about Angelo.

Estranged from the faith and forged in the fires of special operations, Angelo "The Operator" Barnes is the family's black sheep-and their deadliest weapon. When he arrives in Rio to claim his brother's body, he finds a cover-up that goes deeper than a corrupt police force and higher than the mission president. Posing as a missionary to infiltrate the organization that betrayed his family, Angelo uncovers a terrifying secret society within the church known as the "Holders of the Rod." Led by fanatical zealots and aided by a cartel warlord, they are harvesting something far more valuable than cocaine from the bodies of the poor: the chemical essence of faith itself. Now, Angelo must navigate a treacherous landscape of smiling stake presidents, ruthless drug lords, and

The Nazarites

-the Church's own spiritual special forces. Armed with a stolen name tag and a particular set of skills, Angelo is about to bring a new kind of gospel to Rio.

It's time for a reckoning. And the Destroying Angel will not pass them by.

Perfect for fans of Jack Carr's tactical authenticity, Lee Child's vengeance, and the dark, institutional intrigue of Jon Krakauer. Destroying Angel is a high-octane religious conspiracy thriller that asks: What happens when the wolves in sheep's clothing meet the wolf who eats them?
