And Ye Shall Be As Gods

Who is responsible?

In his desperate quest to find the author of his beloved little-sister’s descent into despair and his lost-love’s retreat into madness, Jake Kazmareck must confront evils past and present.

Disillusioned with his career as a public defender in Austin, he tries to lose himself in the big city, taking a job teaching high school in the wilds of the South Bronx. In the hospital after an assault by some students, he shares a room with a survivor of the holocaust and learns the true depths of depravity.

On his way back to the Mexican border town of his youth where his sister still resides, he makes a stop to visit his lost love, Dolores, in an asylum in Austin. There he finds a curious and damning connection between the devils that hound his dear sister and those that imprison his lost love in the pit of catatonia.

Those convergent paths lead him to find the evil he seeks in a most unexpected and harrowing place.
