Crucifixion Thorn

Five years ago, the hunt for the Axewoman of Tucson brought together four mismatched sleuths who have now formed Union Jack Investigations. The British expat Wilde Sinclair founded Union Jack, bringing along Salem psychic Deliverance Dane, ex-detective Michael Quintana, and ex-police lieutenant Victor Renard. For these four, all is well in life and love. Sadly, its just a calm before the storm as death once again disturbs the desert city of Tucson, Arizona. The case hits the Union Jack team personally, and they must quickly uncover the killer and his motives. As the investigation continues, it becomes obvious that there is some link between the old series of murders and the new ones. As the clock ticks down on murder after murder, there is no discernible pattern to the perpetrators purpose or selection of victims. As multiple madmen converge on the heart of the city, it becomes clear that the Union Jack four are targets, but why? Past actions and secrets play a part in the final denouement as savagery and hatred home in on the innocent as well as guilty.
