Sorcerer

Michael Thorn, a former police detective, has finally left the force and hopes for a calm life. The rest he pictured does not last. His new house in rural New England comes with local stories that he assumes are only talk, until he finds a skeleton in the basement. When the bones vanish, his search pulls him toward an old mystery and a far older enemy: the sorcerer who opposed Moses.

Thorn now has to protect his family by learning how a sorcerer from ancient Egypt reached America and how to stop him before he recovers his full strength. He is aided by a learned professor, a devoted priest, and a group of warriors pledged to guard the church. Whether their combined efforts will be enough remains uncertain. Along the way, Thorn is pushed to confront larger questions about good and evil, and about God and the devil.
