A Necessary Evil (Maggie O'Dell)

When a monsignor is found knifed to death in a Nebraska
airport restroom, FBI special agent Maggie O'Dell is called
in to profile the ritualistic murder of a priest, the latest
in a series of killings. Maggie soon discovers a disturbing
Internet game that's popular among victims of abuse by
Catholic priests. With this first real lead in the investigation,
she wonders if the group has turned cyberspace justice
into reality. Then Maggie gets a second lead—one that
leaves her stunned.



For the past four years she has been obsessed with finding
Father Michael Keller, whose brutal acts against children
continue to haunt her. Now, it seems, he has become a
target. When Keller offers to help Maggie solve the ritual
killings in exchange for protection, she decides to ally
herself with the elusive child killer, stepping into a world of
malevolence from which she may not return unscathed.



Maggie knows the bargain is a necessary evil…one that
may be made in blood….
