THE BLOOD OF SAINTS
In a musty hotel room in the backwater of Kendall County, North Carolina, freelance investigative journalist Davy Clough is found dead with his wrists slit. The death is quickly pronounced a suicide by the local medical examiner, but FBI agent Mike Saville isn't so sure. Seems Clough had paid Saville a visit the day before, declaring that he was "investigating a possible conspiracy that stretched to the highest levels of the federal government."

In Washington DC's West Potomac Park, Deputy White House Counsel Victor Farnsworth is found dead with a bullet hole in his head during a violent rain storm that has conveniently washed away all of the physical evidence. The local medical examiner quickly pronounces the death a suicide, but Sergeant Lowri Pritchard of the United States Park Police isn't so sure. Seems there are a few too many inconsistencies that the homicide detective in charge of the investigation is overlooking.

So begins Keith Spence's latest novel, THE BLOOD OF SAINTS, a political thriller that tackles head-on some of today's biggest hot-button issues, including corruption in the White House and the effects of the liberal and conservative media on both public perception and governmental policy.

And while the plot is focused on the concurrent death investigations by both Saville and Pritchard, investigations that will eventually merge in the Nation's Capital, THE BLOOD OF SAINTS is also very much concerned with the central role that partisan politics, opinion polls, and the media play in today's society.

Besides being a crackerjack suspense thriller, THE BLOOD OF SAINTS is a compelling mystery, love story, and political treatise all rolled into one.

Keith Spence's powerful debut novel concerns David Jourbet, a penetration agent for the CIA with a very big problem: he's just gunned down the Agency's chief of counterintelligence in cold blood. Fort Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary awaits. A life sentence for murder.

Then he's offered a way out. A simple deal, really. Help the Agency locate a missing operative and all charges will be dropped. Just like that.

Except this isn't just any agent who's gone missing. It's Marlena Cory, David's lifelong love, a woman he jilted at the altar two years earlier.

Before the mystery of Marlena's disappearance can be solved, David must return to the scene of some of some of his most traumatic childhood memories, battling demons both past and present, real and imagined.

And through it all, he will find himself plunging deeper and deeper into a spiritual and emotional Hell that makes a lifetime at Leavenworth seem like an inviting alternative.
