The Zoroastrian Murders

Book excerpt: Anahita, the High Priest’s beautiful Persian daughter is a clear and present danger to other organized religions. Her faith is four thousand years old. Zoroastrianism is the father of all revealed religions. For five centuries, her faith dominated the known world. Now she is in the entertainment capital of the United States, a city where Aimee Semple McPherson conned millions out of her followers and L. Ron Hubbard turned a fake religion into a multi-billion dollar organization and O. L. Jaggers leached millions from his Great World Church scheme. With her beauty and charisma, with television as her platform, a faith that was the first revealed religion, the first to require a person for pay for their sins, the first environmental religion, could easily explode across the US with Millennials as her vanguard. Every dollar she collects would be one dollar less for existing religions. The faithful put Anahita in the hands of Jordan Stone, a policeman turned attorney. Jordan is tall, handsome and fearless. Anahita is beautiful, charismatic, with an incredible shape and looks like a Persian Princess. Her enemies are legion, from major religions, that are suffering from declining members and fewer dollars in the collection plates, to members of her own faith who are willing to sacrifice Anahita to resist change. Together Anahita and Jordan do battle with assassins, LA street gangs, a religious coalition and crooked government officials, all who want her dead.
