商品簡介
Ahmad Nazami is an Iranian-born Muslim, accused of murdering his professor.
Left behind at the crime scene are a few pages of the professor's manuscript that purports to disprove the existence of God. The rest of it - gone missing.
Nazami's lawyer, Emmanuel "Manny" Goldfarb is the best criminal attomey in town.
Manny's investigator is Carl Vanderveer. Once he'd been a cop with a life spiraling out of control. Then Pastor Paul Plowright brought him to Jesus; in the nick of time, too. Now all he wants is to live clean and straight, with his daughter and his wife (his third; the good one, that came after Jesus), and do his job.
But as Carl gets deeperand deeper into the investigation of the murdered professor, his most basic beliefs and relationships are tried and his world is turned upside down. The mega-church, the pastor, and his new wife have redeemed Carl from a life of grim debauchery. Now they insist on him dropping the case. But he can't stop searching for the real killer and the truth - no matter what the personal cost.
Salvation Boulevard has a corpse. Along the way there's sex and money, thugs and lawyers, politicians and prayer meetings, but at the end of the road, at the heart of it all, like a riddle wrapped in an enigma, is the mysterious meeting of man and God.
