Divine Scales: Balancing Evil and Faith

By N.M. VIRETHORN

Divine Scales, a novel that blends the theological nuance of Silence of the Lambs with the symbolic intricacy of Seven. With its high-concept structure-murders committed in thematically paired sets based on the Seven Deadly sins and Seven Heavenly Virtues-Divine Scales explores the soul of justice through the of a detective haunted by his own inaction.
When a string of ritualistic murders erupts across the city-each victim representing a cardinal sin or its opposing virtue-Detective Cal Emory is pulled into a killer's theological crusade. Dubbed "The Martymaker." the murderer isn't simply punishing the sinful; he's also sacrificing the virtuous, in perfect balance. As the pattern unfolds, Pride and Humility, Greed and Charity, Lust and Chastity becomes chilling clear: this isn't random. It's judgement.
