The Lesser of Two Evils Alastair Stone has some rare free time, so he agrees to help Jason with a case—a missing college student with a wealthy father who’s desperate to bring her home safely. As often happens when Stone is involved, though, the girl’s disappearance soon proves to be only the tip of a much larger and more dangerous iceberg, ultimately leading them to a malevolent megachurch with a lot more than salvation on its agenda. Even worse, they soon discover that another organization—one Stone is all too familiar with—already has the corrupt church in its crosshairs. To get to the bottom of the church’s infernal machinations, Stone and his friends might have no choice but to join forces with them. But can mortal enemies Alastair Stone and Portas Justitiae manage to put aside their hatred for each other long enough to take down an evil bigger than either side can handle alone? If they can’t, thousands of innocent people could lose their lives—and that’s only the beginning.
