The Seventh Psalm
When justice fails, judgment comes.
Mathias Green is no ordinary consultant. At forty-seven, his brilliance has carried him into homicide units across the world, unraveling crimes that leave entire precincts baffled. He notices the smallest things—the angle of a cut, the trace of ash, a word half-buried in a victim’s last breath. But genius is not his only weapon. Green is a devout Christian, armed with scripture and conviction, and he believes evil is never just human—it is spiritual, ancient, and patient.
When a New York judge is found with Hebrew verses carved into his flesh, Green is called in against the wishes of a skeptical NYPD. The crime is grotesque, yet disturbingly precise: a verse from Psalm 7, marked into the body like a liturgy. Soon more victims follow—an attorney, another judge—each tied to corruption, each carrying another verse. And then the letters begin to arrive.
Across the ocean, a London church becomes a stage for the same ritual slaughter. Ancient Hebrew symbols are discovered burned into wood and stone, symbols older than modern language, whispering of a buried liturgy no killer should know. Green sees what others refuse to: the murderer is not merely quoting scripture—he is constructing it, step by step, turning Psalm 7 into blood and ash, building a sermon of judgment that grows louder with each death.
Detective Clara Leung doesn’t believe in prophecy, angels, or demons—but she cannot deny Green’s genius, nor the terrifying accuracy of his deductions. Together, reluctantly bound, they pursue a killer who believes himself the hand of God. But the Psalmist is always a verse ahead, and his liturgy has not yet reached its final judgment.
As New York and London reel under the shadow of ritual killings, Mathias Green faces more than a murderer. He faces a mind wielding scripture as a scalpel—and a darkness that may not be human at all.
The Seventh Psalm is the first in a gripping new mystery series that blends psychological suspense, theological depth, and the razor-edged genius of a man who sees what no one else dares.
