God Is a Bullet
Teran, Boston
Ballantine Books. Mass Market Paperback. 0345439880 From the Publisher The feral wasteland of the southern California desert and the badlands of Mexico: these are the settings for Boston Teran's searing debut novel-a dark, wrenching thriller about personal conviction, retribution, and survival. Fall 1970. In a remote playa a twelve-year-old boy stumbles upon a hideous scene in a dust-strewn trailer: the savage murder of a woman that will remain unsolved for twenty-five years. Christmas week, 1995. A fourteen-year-old girl is kidnapped by a bloodthirsty satanic cult that calls itself the Left-Handed Path. The leader, Cyrus, considers murder the "ultimate freedom, ultimate joy . . . ultimate service." His "tribe" is a group of drug-fueled young psychopaths honing their skills under the tutelage of a master. Helter Skelter. And then some. Bob Hightower, the girl's father, is a cop, suddenly more desperate than he ever imagined possible. There are no clues to his daughter's whereabouts, only a scene of unfathomable carnage-the mutilated corpses of her mother and stepfather-left behind by the kidnappers. His only hope is a fierce ex-cult member named Case Hardin, a woman tempered to an extraordinary strength by what she's endured, who's just getting off the junkie trail in a halfway house in Hollywood. Bob has absolutely no reason, and every need, to trust her. Case suspects that the killings, committed within fifty miles of each other and separated by a quarter of a century, are part of a byzantine nightmare she knows too well, a nightmare that has now engulfed Bob's daughter. Their quest-he for his child, she to exorcise her demons-becomes a primal hunt-and-chase through a savagesubculture of drugs and ritualistic violence ("the black land of plenty") that takes them inexorably toward the limits of physical and psychological torment and trauma. God Is a Bullet is an indelible story of people who must discover what it means to surrender oneself completely-to drugs, or power, or faith, or love-and, when necessary, what it takes to come back. It is a stunning debut. From The Critics Entertainment Weekly It ain't pretty, and it ain't bedtime reading. Beth Amos When life is at its most desperate, many people turn to their god for help, salvation, and survival. But in the harshly violent and horribly savage world created by author Boston Teran, the title says it all: God is a Bullet . There are things worse than death, and Teran hits on a good number of them in this chilling portrait of a devil-worshipping cult and the two people who must fight it in hopes of saving a young girl's life. Marked as a troublemaker at an early age, Cyrus was discarded along the side of the road by his drugged-up mother. He was found and raised by an eccentric old black woman who lived in a trailer in the desert foothills of southern California. Despite her efforts to turn him into a good boy, Cyrus became a cruel and coldhearted creature of pure evil, one who lusts after mayhem, torture, and death. When the old woman is cruelly murdered, Cyrus sets out on his own to develop a killing cult, a gang of bloodlusters whose depravity knows no bounds. Case Hardin was only ten years old when she fell in with Cyrus, and in no time she became firmly entrenched in his savage world of drugs, child pornography, and murder. For years she is drugged, beaten, and tortured into submission, suffering humiliation, degradation, and torment. But as an adult she finally summons the strength to break free, both of Cyrus and of the heroin she is addicted to. Her escape from Cyrus is successful, though it nearly costs her her life. But she's tried to shake the heroin twice now, only to fall painfully off the wagon each time. They say the third time is the charm... Bob Hightower thinks of himself as a "pretend" cop, a desk jockey with a cushy job compliments of his wealthy and influential ex-father-in-law. Rather than risk making his wife a sheriff's widow, Bob accepted the paper-pushing job years ago. Now the wife he wanted to protect is married to someone else, and Bob's only joy in life comes fro ...Experience, Quality, Value.... . 2002.
