Deliver Us from Evil Series/Awesome

Mortality

 * The book is basically one long torture-fest for Holmes, but doggone if it isn't also one long Moment of Awesome for an already-awesome man.
 * Letting himself almost die just to catch Culverton Smith, for starters.
 * Plus, managing to kill two men with a full dozen converging upon him while still convalescing...
 * Davy Wiggins calling Holmes out on his recklessness. Three times. That boy has some serious guts.
 * The book's Act II is another long Moment of Awesome, this one for Watson.
