Sympathy for the Devil (A Morris and Chastain Investigation)

by Justin Gustainis

A Morris and Chastain Investigation

Senator Howard Stark wants to be President of the United States. So does the demon inside him. With the competing candidates dropping out due to scandal, blackmail, and 'accidental' death, Stark looks like a good bet to go all the way to the White House. And if he gets there, Hell on Earth will follow.

Occult investigator Quincey Morris and white witch Libby Chastain are determined to stop this evil conspiracy. But between them and Stark stand the dedicated agents of the US Secret Service - as well as the very forces of Hell itself. Quincey and Libby will risk everything to exorcise the demon possessing Stark. If they fail, 'Hail to the Chief' will become a funeral march - for all of us.

Sympathy for the Devil continues the electrifying series of supernatural thrillers following the exploits of investigators Quincey Morris and Libby Chastain.

Demonic interference with politics, Morris discovers that the aftereffects of being caught by demon fire isn't good and can cost some people. He goes through a downward spiral that needs Chastain to drag him out of it and they also have to try to work out how to defeat a demon who has Armageddon in mind.

Interesting and I like the characters, they are not all powerful and they do have flaws, and there are times when you wonder what they plan to do next. The bad guys were also interesting and I could imagine them succeeding if they kept going. I enjoyed the read.
