A Stain of Purity

In the fictional nation of Westland, the Supreme Court's ruling on a religious charity's exemption from healthcare mandates ignites a cultural firestorm. Former prosecutor Cassandra Voss, a woman whose obsessive cleanliness masks a dark past, is drawn into a series of apparent suicides among devout young women. Each left a note thanking a "spiritual guide." Cassandra detects a pattern of emotional predation, a psychopathic PUA artist who exploits faith and vulnerability. As the body count rises, she must confront a system that protects predators and a world rotten to its core. Her only weapon is a refusal to get her hands dirty—a quiet heroism that is nothing more than a stubborn, small stain of purity.
