SYNOPSIS: Kelly Thrones is a serial killer of serial killers. Or is she? All the FBI knows is that she's the only one who can prevent a meltdown at the Blue Jay Nuclear Power Plant.

BLURB:

Kelly Thrones is the youngest, top selling salesperson for Heaven Sent Digital.   She is smooth with clients.  Acid tongued to subordinates.   Brutal to her competitors.   She is the support of her mother and sister. It’s a great life – until she is arrested for the murder of a crossing guard.  DNA proves she was present at the crime scene.  The murder weapon is found in her car.  There is security footage of her entering and leaving the victim’s home.   Kelly claims she was asleep at the time of the murder.  FBI Agent Malachi Powers believes otherwise.

They are both correct.

Powers discovers that Kelly has murdered six other people.   They are ordinary citizens.  And all serial killers.

Now Agent Powers wants Kelly.  Not for punishment.  For employment.  Powers has been receiving letters from a man who is trying to get God’s attention.  Dillon Crompton is going to light a candle.   And Dillon works at the Blue Jay Nuclear Power Facility.

Will Kelly be able to show Powers the truth about herself? Will Powers see the light in time to stop Dillon from blowing up the nuclear facility? And will Kelly ever get free of this  otherworldly force and get her life back?
