📝 Description: Terra's Sabbath

Detective Marion Paul investigates his brother’s fatal alcoholism, which leads him into a dark network of witchcraft and Satanism in Small Town America. He discovers that Terra Drake, a demon woman, controls these activities and orchestrates citizen murders while enslaving children. The narrative traces this evil back to Biblical times, showing how Drake influenced notorious serial killers throughout history. Marion faces a cult of witches and werewolves that defies conventional law enforcement. His usual tools, including guns and knives, offer no protection against such supernatural threats. This conflict becomes a personal battle for survival, testing his sanity and endangering his family. The story presents a cat-and-mouse struggle where failure means the death of everyone he loves. Dean Patrick writes this tale of occult horror and familial duty. Readers who enjoy supernatural fiction with strong detective elements will find this compelling. Those seeking lighthearted or purely realistic crime procedurals may wish to look elsewhere. The book combines police investigation with ancient evil.
