Chief Detective Wanda Price begins an investigation into a recently discovered body. The newly deceased individual is added to a long list of other unexplained deaths occurring worldwide. Her detective skills are razor-sharp as she connects a single clue to the deceased's demise. Her investigation leads her to a storefront minister named Kristofer Masters and a Rabbi. Interaction between the three of them finds them in the streets of New York, where unknown assassins attack Detective Price. Professor Nyabinghi, demon-fighter extraordinaire, shares his thoughts on the Nephilim, and he and Rev. Masters begin to recognize that their foe is not of this world. The team must hurry to avoid a deadline that could transform the earth into an abode for demons. Will Detective Price and Rev. Masters allow their emotional attachment to interfere with their quest? Can the newly developed team mount an appreciable line of defense? Which of the books, eighty-odd characters, are their invisible adversaries? "A slow-burn mystery that engages many religious perspectives about evil and murder. Although I was not surprised that the author chose to build the story up to the introduction of the main protagonist and the search for the killer, I would have liked it to happen a little sooner. I am one of those readers who likes to get pulled right in, so perhaps it is impatience on my part. Readers who like a descriptive, short read with an expedited plot may like Chained in Darkness Alpha. It does offer some interesting characters." Layla Abdullah-Poulos
