An angel has been murdered. The Inquisition is on the case.

Juliana Dietrich used to be a cop. That was before she uncovered corruption on the force... and found out how far her superiors were willing to go to shut her up.

She's got a new job now. One where her uncompromising devotion to the law is encouraged rather than punished. One that brings her face to face with the kind of darkness that would make most cops run away screaming. She's got bigger targets than human criminals these days. She protects humanity from creatures beyond this plane... by any means necessary.

Her title: Inquisitor.

She thinks she's seen everything. Until she gets a call from an old friend on the force. There's an angel lying murdered in a church.

Juliana didn't know angels could die. And this killer is only getting started.

This short story is 14,000 words long. It takes place before the events of Nothing Sacred, the first book in the Nic Ward series.
