This book was the result of combining the aspects of typical Satanic crime with the highly controversial underground 1900 shopping mall beneath Leavenworth, KS. The protagonist, Enos Hobson, is flawed with PTSD, the career stopping result of it, and a bitter divorce as the result of both. The author's career in military intelligence greatly influenced the portrayal on the protagonist's skills. Making a dog a character in his book was especially fun to do.
