Review Summary

The Fear of God is the second book in the Dr. Jaguar Addams series. In a penal colony modeled after Toronto, Canada, after an epidemic of serial murders called The Killing Times, Jaguar uses empathic skills to find the root of criminals' fears. This time she must use a virtual simulation of Heaven in order to find the source of a female cult leader's fear before the dispersed cult tries to bring about a disaster through particularly frightening methods.
