The Clerk's Amen

In the shadow of the Holy Dawn theocracy, mild-mannered logistics clerk Otto Brandt signs deportation orders with a prayer. Decades later, reborn as Victor Cole, a placid car dealership manager in New Essex, a contract war with Omni Motors pulls back the curtain on his past. Extradited for crimes against humanity, he stands trial claiming he was merely a faithful servant following divine command. The novel dissects how religious devotion provided an impeccable mask for industrialized murder, tracing the chilling arc from sacred hymns to the banality of a filing cabinet.
