Amateur sleuth Evan Wycliff is a disillusioned divinity student who is fascinated by astrophysics and given up both.

His beautiful fiancé was a brilliant Jewish scientist, a defense contractor who was killed in a rocket attack in Syria. These days Evan gets guest preacher gigs and uses his investigative skills as skip tracer for the local car and tractor dealership.
