David Morrell - The Covenant Of The Flame. A fury slinging flame.
David Morrell - The Covenant Of The Flame. If a man abide not in Me, he is cast forth as a branch and is withered. And men gather them and cast them into the fire. Archdeacon Ferran Martinez, driven to excess by his fervent Catholicism, preached increasingly inflammatory sermons against all heretics. On 15 March, Ash Wednesday, his charismatic hate-filled oratory aroused his parishioners to such a frenzy that they stormed from his church toward the Jewish quarter of Seville. Instead two leaders of the mob were seized and scourged.

David Morrell is usually brilliant but for me Covenant of the Flame is something of a let-down. No one writes books about a little guy vs. a vast conspiracy better than David Morrell. It has the makings of a good story and does have its moments. The early love interest grabs the reader as do Tess's subsequent efforts to solve her new friend's murder. Excitement flares, too, when the heroine is being chased by gangs with heavy artillery and murder in their hearts. Morrell is one of the few authors that I will snatch up when I come across a new (or "new to me") title.
