So, I guess, the first book was about Murder. This, the second, is about lust. And from what I can gather, these are the different tools that the "preachers", if you will, of this religion, use to get other converted. But most of the time it doesn't seem to be a conversion of will or necessity, but rather one of coercion. Such as this one . . Lust. Basically, there's a house set up in Chevy Chase, that's near Washington DC, where a person's every whim is fulfilled. Even the desires that people don't even know exist within them. But, the down side of all of this sedition is that you become the property of the "priests". Once they've given you everything you wanted, now they start to demand payment. Renee has gone in undercover to try to see what exactly is going on. But in order for her to not look suspicious, she has to commit herself to her role. And in doing so, may be selling her own soul. She tries desperately not to give in, but after 8 or 9 visits, with the same woman, she tries to convince herself that she's doing so to save the woman's life. If she doesn't, they'll become overly suspicious. When they finally make a move against one of the Joint Chief's advisers, she's there to "cock-block" them . . as it where. She tries to get the guy to see the error of his ways. She wants him to see that they were only using him. And in the fight she ends up burning the house to the ground. Mother Superior is visibly upset. Did I mention that they passed themselves off as a convent in the beginning? Anyways, she's upset, " . . converts and daughters . . . they've all fled, they're all gone. You allowed this to happen, Brother Flay. You let her do this!". To which Brother Flay responds, "You have lost nothing, Mother Superior. You house will rise again. I didn't stop her . . . to teach a lesson." Well if nothing else, it's an interesting book. And, it's good to see the Question back in action again. It's brought to us by, Greg Rucka and Jesus Saiz.
