For Samantha Grayson life at prestigious Great Northern University outside of Chicago couldn't be any more perfect: the star reporter for The Daily Northern and in love with Tyler McManaway, the handsome All-American quarterback of the school's resurgent football team. Until a passing glimpse of a story concerning the baffling disappearance of five young women that terrorized Los Angeles a year earlier catches her attention, unknowingly leading Samantha on a path towards an unimaginable danger. Samantha has no idea the disappearances are linked to a dark chapter in human history. Descendants of those involved in the African slave trade evolving the sordid enterprise into a wicked commerce far more vile and insidious. A shadowy cabal trafficking in female flesh, kidnapping unsuspecting young women to fill grim consignments worth millions for wealthy and powerful clients to satisfy barbarous and twisted desires. Now their most skilled Collector, an operative known for ruthless cunning, is in Chicago to acquire 'product' for his most profitable, and brutally sadistic, client. A man that if his depraved secret of violent blood lust comes to light will send political shock waves around the globe and threaten the fragile stability of the world's economy. When a worried freshman seeks Samantha's assistance in locating her missing roommate, the investigation leads Samantha straight into a terrifying peril not only jeopardizing her life, but also those of her closest friends. As Samantha struggles to escape the seemingly hopeless situation and a cruel destiny guaranteeing a certain death, Tyler McManaway is thrust into a desperate life-and-death contest far removed from the playing field to rescue the woman he loves from the brutal clutches of evil men with malicious intentions before time runs out and Samantha Grayson vanishes forever as another helpless victim of The Trading Society.

How can people of faith connect their religious traditions with the rise of overtly fascist violence in the United States? That's the question this book takes up. With first-hand accounts from the largest white supremacist gathering in modern American history at Unite the Right in Charlottesville, Virginia, it shares how the clergy resisting Nazis and the KKK point a way forward for Christians in particular. But The Writing on the Wall expands outward to ask what churches can learn from antifascists, Black Lives Matter, and those working on the ground to combat the continuing coalition of far-right militias and gangs that promise to endure with or without Trump in office. In the wake of a deadly Capitol insurrection robed in Christian imagery, this book invites the faithful to imagine a counter-witness that does more than merely preach against hate. Using biblical exegesis, storytelling, interviews, thought experiments, art, and theology, The Writing on the Wall explores how we can rethink notions of civil disobedience, nonviolence, love, prayer, and liturgy to enflesh a worthy faith in the face of a fascist creep.
