An ex-member of a bloodthirsty cult must pair up with a police officer to take down the group’s murderous leader in this dark, wrenching thriller about personal conviction, retribution, and survival. Soon to be a major motion picture starring Jamie Foxx, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Maika Monroe, and January Jones “In a word: Wow. God Is a Bullet is a kick-ass, in-your-face tour de force from start to finish.”—Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Match Case Hardin has stared into the face of evil and lived. Now Case learns that the satanic cult that turned her from a lost child into a broken, drug-addicted shell of a woman has taken down more victims, butchering a man and a woman in their suburban home and abducting a young girl.
Fueled by rage and the need to redeem her life, Case teams up with the missing girl’s father—a straight-arrow desk cop named Bob Hightower—to track the girl down. With Case as his mentor, Hightower will begin a hunt through the satanic underground few have encountered and even fewer have survived, to pry his child from the hands of a madman.

Wanting to exorcise the demons that the cult left in her, Case teams up with the missing girl's father, Detective Bob Hightower, to track her down and find her before it's too late.
“A shotgun thriller with the cocksure timing of a professional hit.”
