A bible study class has turned into a sex club for young teen-agers. A religious zealot is making bombs to bomb Planned Parenthood. A young girl is found naked and suffocated in a dumpster. Are these incidents connected or just separate tragic incidents?

Detective Wade Jackson is trying to discover the answer to these questions. Although bound by confidentiality issues Kera Kollmorgan wants to help him find the answers.

Kera is a clinical nurse at Planned Parenthood. She was present when a bomb went off at the clinic. Kera’s last patient had been a girl named Jessie who was obviously sexually active. Jessie had just left the clinic when the bomb went off. When Kera got home and checked her email she had received a message from Jessie. The message was not signed but Kera was sure it was from her.

Jessie is the girl that is found dead in the dumpster the next day. She was naked and had been suffocated. Detective Jackson started following up leads and some of the leads pointed to a man in a high position in the city.

While Detective Jackson follows up leads in the murder, Kera reviews files at Planned Parenthood trying to connect the patients at the clinic with the participants in the sex club.

The Sex Club is a very exciting read with a tragic ending. Detective Jackson and Kera Kollmorgan are great characters and I hope to read more about them.
