Divine Hunger

A priest is beheaded and brutally slaughtered on the altar of his church. The priest's head and several internal organs are missing. There is distinct evidence that cannibalism is involved. The case is assigned to Elliot Cole, a talented homicide detective. Before he can begin the investigation the FBI steps in and takes over the case. Agent Rebecca Conner is the agent in charge. Agent Conner has been tracking the killer across the country for three years. Agent Conner is a no nonsense Agent who is very possessive of the case. She was the one who connected the dots and discovered there was a serial killer at work. A case she has been fighting the good ole boy network in the FBI to keep. Elliot doesn't like the FBI or Agent Conner but is forced to work with her. The priest is not the killer's first victim. There are twenty-seven more murders Agent Conner has connected to the killer. A second murder, equally brutal, escalates the hunt. They consult a local anthropologist for help. The insights provided by the anthropologist also stir up suspicions. A video tape from a hidden camera in the second victim's apartment further inflames those suspicions. The anthropologist disappears. Elliot takes Agent Conner to meet Uncle Bob. Uncle Bob is Elliot's' only living relative who also happens to be a respected criminologist and anthropologist. Uncle Bob has helped Elliot with earlier cases. Uncle Bob provides insight and a warning; "This man is a hunter. Don't be surprised if he starts hunting you." Divine Hunger is a chilling journey into forbidden realm of mankind's most ancient taboo.
