Update on In'Ferno

The In’Ferno Affect is nearing the proofing conclusion. I hope to get the finalized edit to the publisher by mid August which will all but guarantee a late fall release. I think everyone who has read Zechariah will be in shock by In’Ferno, as it is more suspenseful and the content is darker in nature. Here is the working description of In’Ferno
“The famous mystery writer, Mr. Jackson Chadwick has been found dead by the Eugene Oregon Police. All that remains is a human outline of ash, a lower unattached foot and a ring with the “Square and Compass” insignia of the Freemasons. The detective assigned to the case, James McCullough is shocked by the resemblance of the crime scene to images of alleged cases of Spontaneous Human Combustion. With no leads, a Funeral Director educates McCullough about the cremation process and a theory known as the “Wick Effect,” and recommends that the Detective speak with the local Catholic Parish Priest. The local Priest, with the Detective’s blessing, notifies a Catholic Investigator, Father Anthony Rispoli, who is investigating a similar case of alleged Spontaneous Human Combustion involving a famous Professor in Chicago.
The Police Detective and the Catholic Investigator, along with an older and more seasoned Catholic Investigator, Monsignor Milani, combine their investigations and realize that both victims were members of the same Seven-Six Order of the Freemason Lodge in New York City. They also discover that this secret Order has four other members. The Investigators soon uncover a sinister plot involving macabre rituals, and bloodletting contracts with the Devil himself. Has the devil now come back to collect? With vivid dreams and his own inner demons the story revolves around Father Rispoli’s personal battles.
This 95,000 word novel becomes a race against time to locate the other four members of the Masonic Order before they meet the same fate as their former lodge members. This novel utilizes many conspiracy theories that have revolved around the Freemasons throughout their history. The story takes many twists and turns that will keep the reader guessing until the climax in which Father Rispoli comes face to face with the Devil himself. Then in a Faustian ending…well you will just have to read the novel.”
