Sister Justicia Marie goes viral. Will it mean a new chapter for the church? Or the final chapter for her life as a nun? She doesn't go looking for trouble, but when trouble finds her Sister Justicia Marie of the Sisters of Perpetual Justice is prepared to shut it down—with her martial arts training, if necessary. One night she tries to stop a drug buy and is forced to break the arm of a drug-dealing gang leader. Someone captures the video and suddenly Sister J goes viral. Much to the chagrin of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Now Sister J is under pressure to stop her unorthodox ways. Yet at every turn she runs into more crime, and even a demonic driver who tries to kill her. What is going on in the City of Angels? What is a nun who can kick serious butt supposed to do? She calls out for God for an answer, and she gets it—but in a fashion that lends new meaning to the phrase, "God works in mysterious ways." James Scott Bell is the bestselling, award-winning author of many thrillers and books on the craft of writing. He makes his home in Sister J's town, Los Angeles.
