Description
A maimed detective is abducted and brought into the isolated world of a religious cult that believes amputations are a sacred path toward God. As he is forced to investigate a murder from within their rules and rituals, his search for truth collides with devotion, coercion, and the unsettling logic of faith. With each step deeper into the brotherhood’s inner life, the novel turns a procedural premise into a tense psychological descent, exploring what people sacrifice to be “closer” to salvation. Brian Evenson’s stark, propulsive style sharpens the novel’s themes of bodily autonomy, moral injury, and the thin line between belief and violence.
