Blood Evidence is the second book in a three book series by Mel Odom. I haven't had the pleasure of reading the first in the series (Paid in Blood). Commander Will Coburn of NCIS and his team discover two bodies long-deceased on the property of an ex-con after raiding his farmhouse to rescue the daughter of Marine Captain…

  ". . . These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It's only nine in the morning! No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:         'In the last days, God says,         I will pour out my Spirit on all people.         Your sons and daughters will prophesy,             your young men will…

                   We're talking fiction here. Have you written a bad boy and made him your protagonist? What about a bad girl as your heroine? And are we really talking "bad"?
