The Bones of the Mother

A Supernatural Action Thriller

By: K.R.M. Morgan

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A RENEGADE PRIEST. A POSSESSED MERCEDES. AND THE MOTHER OF ALL MONSTERS.

Father Thomas O’Neill is the Vatican’s Chief Exorcist, but he doesn’t use holy water. He uses a Glock loaded with rock salt, a pack of Turkish Royal cigarettes to mask the scent of sulfur, and a 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 that runs on high-octane petrol and the Wrath of God.

Thomas just wanted a sabbatical in Provence. He wanted wine, cheese, and silence. But when the Pope calls on a secure line, the holiday is over.

The Codex Carnis—the Book of Flesh—has been stolen from the Vatican’s oxygen-starved Zero Archive.

Thomas thinks it’s a simple retrieval mission. He’s wrong. The thief, a disgraced Swiss Guard turned warlock, didn’t steal the book to read it. He stole it to wake something up. Hidden beneath a ruined abbey in the marshes of the Camargue, an ancient evil is stirring. It isn’t a demon. It isn’t a ghost.

It is the fossilized remains of Tiamat, the Chaos Dragon who existed before creation. And she is hungry.

Now, Thomas is the only thing standing between humanity and digestion. But he’s not fighting alone. He has Ezekiel, a sixty-pound ginger tomcat with the tactical mind of a soldier and the scars to prove it. And he has Hanbi—the sarcastic Sumerian King of Wind Demons—living inside his head.

To stop the Mother of Monsters, Thomas will have to do the one thing a priest should never do.

He’ll have to let the Devil take the wheel.

"The Exorcist meets The Transporter in this high-velocity supernatural thriller. If you like anti-heroes with baggage, cats with attitude, and car chases that break the laws of physics, you’ll be addicted to The Bones of the Mother."
