Foul Purity
Before he can solve a brutal murder, a small-town police chief/preacher battles the town council, who wants to fire him, a hit man posing as Jerry Lee Lewis, who wants to kill him, a bar owner, who gets drunk every Christmas Eve and climbs the town water tower so the chief will climb up and retrieve her, and a squeeze-happy python named Beverly.
Burnt Pot Island
Catherine Williams earns her living shucking oysters in a filthy, mosquito-infested shed, like all Geechee women in Pin Point, Georgia, in 1904. Even though she graduates eighth grade and yearns to escape, none of the men whose children she bears can help her. Prohibition becomes law, and rum-running gangs invade the deserted sea islands, bribing the sheriff and the mayor of nearby Savannah, who promise unheard-of sums of money to the impoverished Geechees to do their dirty work, and who lure Catherine's son Willie into the business. When the owner of the oyster cannery makes an unwanted sexual advance toward Catherine's daughter Licia, Catherine is forced to hide Licia with her son on Skidaway Island, the epicenter of fine-liquor smuggling and manufacture of moonshine. She struggles to keep her job and home, both of which depend on pleasing her boss.

Federal agents close in for a raid, forcing Catherine to choose between abandoning everything she has worked for and saving her children.
The Emancipation of Mr. Cash
Charles Cash is addicted to the mayo-drips and brown buns of a Big Mac, so he undergoes a colonoscopy. Under anesthesia he dreams about his advanced high school history class (three African American super stars) and the sometimes-salacious diary they’re reading from the Civil War. The diary concerns Charles’s own ancestors, specifically the picaresque adventures of Cato Cincinnatus Cash (“CC”), med school failure and dope addict, and his paramour, Lulu Hartmann, German bi-sexual chanteuse. Charles’s three students fall in love with CC and Lulu and their troupe, including Little Bug, a black boy about eleven who carries a frog leg around his neck that from time to time, turns into a...

Heerser van de Duisternis
Liefde, verraad en wraak. Lucifer is er in geslaagd uit het vagevuur te ontsnappen. De duisternis komt over Horizon en de mensenwereld. De Orde van het Eerste is in opmars, waarbij het langzaam maar zeker meer engelen tegen elkaar opzet. Hun aantal groeit voortdurend en chaos en verwoesting teisteren het Legioen. Alexa zit vast in Tartarus; de ondoordringbare en onontkoombare gevangenis en ze is zich er maar al te zeer van bewust dat zij verantwoordelijk is voor Lucifers ontsnapping. Zal zij een manier vinden om uit haar cel te ontsnappen, zodat ze tegen het grootste kwaad kan vechten waar ze ooit oog in oog mee heeft gestaan? Erger nog, Milo heeft zich opgeofferd om de engelen te redden van zijn vaders toorn, die dodelijk is. Zal Alexa hem ooit nog terug zien? En zo ja, staat hij nog aan de kant van zijn vader? Kan zij hem nog vertrouwen? Of is hij voorgoed verloren? Er staat meer op het spel dan ooit tevoren in deze laatste aflevering van de serie De Kronieken van Horizon.
