The Angels of Horridus
Terry Naughton is the head of the Orange County vice squad. In the course of his career, he has dealt with some of the most horrific criminals, but none of them pale in comparison to Horridus, a "ghoul" who kidnaps children and dresses them up as angels, only to release them the next day without harming a hair. The only bizarre clue Naughton has is a piece of snakeskin tucked into the hem of the angel's robe. Horridus has not yet physically harmed his "victims," but everything in Naughton tells him that the "dressing up" will not stop there. However, in a race against time to find the "madman," it turns out that Horridus is not Naughton's only enemy. Heinous accusations threaten to end his career and force him to reckon with events from the past.
