God is a Bullet
God is a Bullet is the cult classic back in print and soon to be a major motion picture starring Jamie Foxx, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and January Jones.
During Christmas week in 1995, a fourteen-year-old girl is kidnapped by a bloodthirsty satanic cult. Bob Hightower, the girl’s father and a small-town cop, embarks on a desperate mission to find her, but his only hope lies with Case Hardin, an ex-cult member and ex-junkie living in a half-way house in Hollywood. Their quest – his to find his child, hers to exorcise her demons – becomes a primal hunt-and-chase through a savage subculture of drugs and ritualistic violence . . .
