When the nineteen-year-old daughter of the mayor of Dallas suddenly goes missing at the height of election season, the Chief of Police has a potential political firestorm on his hands. He assigns senior detectives Rob Soliz and Frank Pierce—partners known for their unorthodox approach to investigations—to investigate quickly and quietly. The girl's family thinks she's out on an irresponsible lark, but things start to escalate quickly when Rob and Frank find a mysterious Bible in her car with the word Wormwood highlighted beneath Revelation. A DPD computer search turns up only one hit: a transient arrested years earlier had a full back tattoo with the word inked in bold letters at the bottom. As the detectives follow a trail that leads them deep into the woods of rural east Texas, they discover other girls have been kidnapped, all young blond women, and find evidence that suggests some of them may still be alive.

      In Enmon’s uneven debut, Franklin Pierce and Roberto Soliz, Dallas PD partners, must find kidnapped Katrina Wallace, the mayor’s 19-year-old daughter. They have one important clue: a Bible left in Katrina’s car with the word Wormwood highlighted. A computer search that turns up a small-time criminal with Wormwood tattooed on his back provides a possible lead. Departmental pressure mounts as first the Texas Rangers and then the FBI join the case. Meanwhile, chapters from Katrina’s viewpoint reveal that she’s the captive of some sort of cult. Enmon tries too hard to make Rob and Frank stand out. Frank is rich, dates only high-end call girls, and is a cop because he likes the “mental exercise of investigations.” Rob, a stolid family man, is a good foil for Frank, but in the end they act more like vigilantes than police officers. Enmon, a veteran of the Houston PD and the Secret Service, would do better next time to portray police work in a more realistic fashion. Agent: David Haviland, Andrew Lownie Literary Agency.
