Wicked Gods
by Eilis Leyne
Novel (2014)
Culture-War Thriller Wicked Gods is “a Fast-Paced Mystery with Plenty of Suspects”
Religious extremists and culture warriors are out to destroy best-selling author Mira Veron, the protagonist in Wicked Gods, a debut novel by Eilís Leyne.
When her seismic exposé of religious abuses lands on the best-seller list, Professor Mira Veron becomes a darling of the literati and a target in the latest culture war. With her soon-to-be-ex-husband scheming to undermine her, her opportunistic agent attempting to cash in on her name, and a seductive born-again assassin tracking her every move, she meets up with a publishing tycoon who is guarding a volatile secret.
Veron is drawn into an underground network by the promise of cataclysmic religious revelations only to watch as her new associates mysteriously die one by one. Under siege by forces seen and unseen, she embarks on a desperate quest for answers. Now she must choose between defending her work and defending her life.
The book is available from humanistpress.com and major online retailers. The ISBN numbers are 978-0-931779-45-9, paperback; 978-0-931779-46-6, ebook.
