β¦ Synopsis
SUMMARY: A hot chick. A golden blade. Dead bodies. Itβs enough to make a cop crazy. Keely Montgomery doesnβt spend much time thinking about death. Sheβs too busy working toward a Ph.D. in social workβher ticket out of a low-rent apartment in a New Jersey urban center. Until an angelic courier delivers a scroll from the Office of Death and Dismemberment that could take her career down a new pathβas one of Heavenβs Holy Assassins. Her? Become a Scythe? No thanks, not interested. But she underestimates how persistent Heaven can be. Detective Josiah Adler has seen a lot of weird things during his time on the force. A hot blonde wielding a golden blade, standing over a string of dead bodies? Thatβs a new one. So is the fact that her grisly deeds leave no blood or marks on the bodies. The womanβs effect on his libido is another new development. One that leaves him no choice but to nail her before she kills again. And before his heart no longer stands a chanceβ¦ Warning: Contains wise-cracking heavenly bodies, sci-fi geekery and a bulldog named Pugsly.
