Do bad genes move through the generations? Can the crimes done in one century be repeated hundreds of years later? Is a seed that is sown in the distant past, somehow able to send out shoots and runners so far into the future that no memory is left of the original transgression. The Hypocrite is a celestial murder mystery, spanning the ages, and bringing two antagonists face-to-face in an environment that can only breed conflict. Bruce McAllister is a former Marine, recently returned from the fighting in Iraq where he served multiple tours. He survived myriad attacks and close calls as he made his way through cities and deserts his comrades nicknamed the Valley of the Shadow of Death. He has returned home intact, in body and mind, but can he survive corporate America, in the person of Moran Smythe? And will McAllister survive working for The Hypocrite?
