Stanley Decker has plenty of it.  His wife and two boys are gone because he spends all his time at work, the Mayor and Police Chief are riding him because it is up to him to keep their anti-crime campaign promises, and now he is faced with seven murders in one night.  The victims have only two things in common; their faith and their sickness.  Despite the fact that they are all practicing Christians, they also each are victims of an insidious and incurable disease.  Decker’s investigation causes him to match wits with the Destroyer, a psychopathic killer who believes he is on a mission from God.  Can this be?  Does God want these seemingly innocent people to die?  The conviction that He does is what keeps the Destroyer on task and motivates him to plan seven more murders.  Well, that and several million dollars!  In order to find the killer, Decker must examine himself, his faith and his world.  This journey takes him from the shadowy streets of Baltimore to the luminous halls of DC to the hallowed sod of Fort McHenry.  Out of the crucible of all these competing pressures Decker begins to understand what it really means to be a man.  In the process he begins to touch pressure points that eventually lead him to face the Destroyer.","brand":"J.
