Scars on the Face of God
The year is 1964. A construction project in the town of Three Bridges, Pennsylvania unearths an ancient sewer. Inside is a mystery dating to the 19th century: the hidden skeletons of countless infants.
As the secrets of Three Bridges begin to surface, an ancient codex is discovered in the attic of a local orphanage. A bible containing writings in Lucifer’s own hand.
The parish priest and a church handyman set out to discover the truth. But a series of strange visions and horrifying tragedies begin, and the darkest secret of all becomes clear:
The town of Three Bridges is marked, and the Devil is coming out to play.

“The thing I write will be the thing I write.” Chris is a former corporate worker bee (Ford Motor, Exxon, Emery Air Freight, MetLife) who authors thrillers and mysteries rooted in crime, politics, espionage, and horror; he also writes songs lyrics. He’s a subject matter expert in none of the following, although his fictional characters are: firearms, aviation, NASA, geology, any law enforcement agency, fugitive recovery, the Navy SEALs, crime scene cleaning, or the US Supreme Court. Nor was he ever a church custodian, billionaire, Hawaiian mobster, a Philly mummer, or US senator, and he does not have six fingers on either hand. Chris wouldn’t trade his Northeast Philly upbringing of street sports played on blacktop and concrete, fistfights, brick and stone row houses, and twelve years of well-intentioned Catholic school discipline for a Philadelphia minute (think NY minute but more direct and less forgiving). He’s an award-winning member of International Thriller Writers. He likes the pie more than the turkey.
