The Mephisto Club
It somehow seems appropriate after reading a couple of Bishop Blackie books to move next to a murder mystery that contemplates the nature of good and evil. The premise is that there is an ancient evil, described in texts that predate the Christian era, and continues to prey upon humanity to this day.
Detective Jane Rizzoli, however, is a skeptic. Oh, the fact that evil exists is a given. She is, after all, a member of the Boston police department. But that this evil is the descendant of the union between angels and humans? She’s not buying it.
The members of the Mephisto Club, however, are buying it. They’re a group that’s taken the task upon themselves to fight said evil. You might say they’re demon hunters. It’s a great mystery, but personally… as far as demon hunters go, I’m going to stick with the likes of Buffy Summers, Anita Blake and Rachel Morgan.
