Angelus

Balance demands sacrifice.
When a pair of ritualistic murders stuns Los Angeles, veteran detective Sam Rourke knows something isn't right. The bodies are posed. The patterns deliberate. And the message—buried in blood, symbols, and silence—is older than the city itself.
Partnered with sharp, unflinching Olivia Mercer, the case drags them into a labyrinth of forgotten history, Indigenous cosmology, and a doctrine born from ancient fear. At the center of it all is Benjamin Harlan—a man who doesn't see himself as a killer, but as a vessel for something far worse.
The city pulses with unrest. Protesters flood the streets. And the murders aren't just escalating—they're aligning.
As the third act approaches, Liv and Sam must confront a terrifying truth: they're not chasing a killer.
They're interrupting a ritual.
Part occult thriller, part procedural noir, Angelus is a dark, unflinching descent into what happens when belief festers, history repeats, and someone decides the city must bleed to be made whole.
