This is a fast-paced, police procedural novel. The fact that the book is peripherally about the 'Church of Scientology' makes it more interesting. There's so much smoke and mirrors about the group that it makes it easy for an author to think up all kinds of twists and turns for the denomination.
Harry gets pulled into the case when his adoptive father is shot twice in the back while trying to rescue a young woman from Scientology. The police quickly know who is doing all the killing, but are powerless to catch the murderer because someone high in the Scientology hierarchy is protecting him. As the bodies pile up, the Clearwater police become more desperate to catch the killer. When the Scientologists move the killer to Alaska, Harry Doyle and his partner follow. It all leads up to a stunning conclusion.
