From actor, director, producer, and author Eriq La Salle, comes the first in a heart-pounding crime thriller series. Every ten years, for the past 30 years, a dozen clergymen are killed, brutally murdered in twisted scenes emulating the deaths of Jesus and his disciples. Now, "The Martyr Maker" has set his mark on New York City.

30 years. 36 priests butchered. His bloodiest masterpiece is yet to come.

The Laws of Depravity follows two NYPD detectives and an FBI agent as they race to catch a serial killer before he completes his last cycle of kills and disappears forever.

Clerical transgressions at the heart of Spotlight meets the visceral horror of Thomas Harris's Red Dragon, for a gritty, dark story about of how some of the most trusted members of society fail. The Laws of Depravity raises eye-opening questions about faith when the lines between good and evil have blurred beyond recognition.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started listening to this book, it definitely draws you in and keeps you captivated all throughout the book. Tough to put reading. Great read and the prequel at the end of the book was a pleasant surprise and helped answer some questions I had and was thinking about.

Crime fiction novels quite saturate bookstores at the moment, and I know there are many books by outstanding authors in the genre vying for our attention. But Laws of Depravity is one of the best I’ve read this year and isn’t to be missed. The end left me eager for more Quincy and Phee and curious to see what they get up to next.

Thanks to the author and publisher for this enthralling work!

I don't normally enjoy male narrators because they always try to sound like women for the female parts and they just never do LOL but I enjoyed this narration and how he handled it. The overall story was intriguing also.

Solid religious crime thriller

I loved every part of this book. The story is amazing and kept me engaged from beginning to end. Eric LaSalle voice, which I love anyway, is perfect. I'm looking forward to Laws of Wrath and Laws of Annihilation.

A page turner!

I cannot say enough about this series. Mr. LaSalle is a phenomenal author. He keeps you on the edge of your seat with every chapter. I finished this book in a week to close out the trilogy. I have no idea what is going to feel the void while I wait for the next book. I am hooked.

Anxiously waiting
