To Kill a Saint

By: Michael Swiger

Narrated by: Randy Streu

A corpse on the altar. A silent witness. A vow that can't be broken.

It’s 2 A.M. in a wealthy Cleveland suburb when a young woman is found murdered—ritually slain and left on the altar at St. Andrew’s Church. Reverend Howard Jamison is discovered covered in blood. A Satanic Bible lies open on his desk. And he isn't talking.

Attorney Hunter St. James, already battling his own demons, is forced onto the case. His once-promising career is collapsing, his socialite girlfriend is pregnant, and now he’s saddled with a pro-bono defense he has no chance of winning. Raised by an infamous father, Hunter has spent a lifetime outrunning disgrace. But now he’s running straight into it. As the trial spirals toward a deadly Halloween climax, Hunter is pulled into the world of secret societies, ancient vows, and a war between good and evil far deeper than he imagined. His atheist beliefs are no match for the forces he’s about to confront.

Meanwhile, psychologist Faith McGuire is desperate for a second chance at life and love. Recently divorced and raising a special-needs son, she’s thrown into the storm just as everything she holds dear is threatened.

To Kill a Saint is a supernatural legal thriller that pierces the veil between the seen and unseen. Faith and fear collide in a race against death. Justice isn't blind... it's being hunted.

Critic reviews

2021 Thriller of the Year – AudioBookReview

Amazing

Great book great story line and relatable characters. Loved the plot and twists kept me up late I couldn’t stop listening.

A Good Listen

Wonderful story line. Intriguing struggle between good & evil. Highly recommend, especially for those who believe - or want to - in a God who is involved in the lives of mankind.

Profanity

Started off slow, but picked up near the end. Too much profanity to be considered Christian. Doubt I will listen to any other books by Michael Swiger’s.

Not My Kind of Book

Christians do not use the language that was throughout this book, and it was entirely unnecessary. It did not add or highlight one thing, but it did detract.
