***Perfect for fans of Black Mirror and The Man in the High Castle***
PI Felix Strange is working his last case. The woman he loves has been taken by Fisher Partners – America’s for-profit secret police – and, though he suspects he won’t find her, he’s going to do the next best thing: kill everyone involved.
As he works his way down the list, Strange is offered a secret deal, which could lead him straight to Iris. Across the American South, the militant Sons of David are on the rise. Their leader, the prophet Joshua, promises a new world to replace the sinful old.
To free Iris, all Strange has to do is assassinate this new messiah.
The problem? He’s twelve years old.

Praise for the first two novels in the Strange Trilogy
'Wonderful'
'Knockout . . . Redolent of Watchmen and Blade Runner'
'Ingenious and witty'
'Fabulous'
PRAISE FOR THE CHILDREN'S CRUSADE
'Elliott Hall is an undoubted talent and The Children's Crusade is a fascinatingly different and original kind of thriller.'
'An action-packed mystery set in a post- apocalyptic Houston... Hall's books hark back to some of the great masters of the crime-writing genre, in particular Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler and James Ellroy.'
