<p>THE ASCENSION BEGINS. A Catholic bishop. A Quaker prayer leader. A Methodist minister. A Mormon ward leader. An entire congregation of Seventh Day Adventists. What do they have in common? They all minister to people's spiritual needs. And someone-or something-is ripping them to shreds for it. A BLOODY WARNING. Police detective Caldwell "Cal" Evans, still three weeks shy of completing rehab, is called in on the case. His only clue is a chilling message written in blood at the first murder scene: "Leave the Christ alone. He does not belong to you." THE SERPENT SHALL REIGN. With bodies piling up, Cal and his partner, Velvet Rabinowitz, chase leads involving snake-handling cults, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and an ancient ceremony left unfinished for two thousand years. With the help of a graduate student and an enigmatic Roman Catholic priest, the two detectives do more than fight for their lives. .THEY FIGHT FOR US ALL.</p>

Creating Man begins were the creation myth leaves ff- with the eighth day, when God, through the intervention of the archangel Michael, invents emotion. As each new feeling is brought forth, the novel dissolves into a depiction of that emotion, manifested through the relationship of two gay men. WE experience hate through the guise of an abusive relationship; guilt with a gay father and a son; fear through an athlete publicly outed; pride through the actions of the perfect golden boy. Yet while each relationship is devastated by emotion, each story concludes with the resolution of that emotion. leading to a final episode that is as dramatically intense as it is intellectually stimulating.

This postmodern twist on the "if it wasn't for you kids" mystery genre is a side-splitting, gender-bending romp. It is a sophisticated work with a wonderful sense of nuance, subtlety and insider satire. Comprised of a series of related short stories, Susan Slutt takes its name from the lead character, announcing immediately its critigue of mainstream fiction. Important and humorous, this book is for all sophisticated readers.
