The Shmuley Myers Series

Set in theocratic America, where citizenship begins at conception, Texas’ cities are hungry places, groaning with generations of large families. Adding to his meshuggeneh—crazy—life, Shmuley is also part of Upline, an underground group helping people escape reproductive bondage and its consequences, and an angel of death, killing people putting the Jewish community in mortal danger at the command of the Sanhedrin. Shmuley juggles loyalties, morals, and relationships in a world complex beyond measure.
