Stephen Mack Jones: Deus X
August Snow #4
Stephen Mack Jones, creator of August Snow – Detroit’s Mexican-African American knight in shining armor – wants to ponder, in his fourth novel, the cost of doing what’s morally right, no matter what. As the book opens, August is visiting his girlfriend’s family in Sweden but while there, he seems to have tracked down and caught a serial killer. That’s just the first chapter. He gets an urgent call from his sometime housemate, Lucy Three Rivers, that her adoptive mothers are in crisis. One of them is in the hospital with a heart problem.
