The Salvation Peddler
"A MASTER OF THE SUSPENSE NOVEL." Abilene Reporter-News
"THE SALVATION PEDDLER" is a haunting and compelling story of a world-renowned evangelist and his family, and a brutal murder that plays havoc with their lives.A psychiatric thriller that takes readers on an intense journey of deception, sexual tension, and murder. Evangelist Jason Blake wants to be President of the United States. But is this man of the cloth hiding the bloody truth behind a veil of righteousness? Detective Tony Pinella thinks he is, but will he find the answers in time?
Veronica Blake hated being the wife of an evangelist - but enjoyed the money and power that came with it. She could no longer stand Jason touching her and it was becoming increasingly difficult for her to sleep with him. When they made love, he was not gentle and cared little about her enjoyment. Veronica also recognized that Jason was stressing the virgin birth during all his sermons. He would raise his voice and his eyes would seek out one young woman in the congregation - a seemingly innocent young woman who would create havoc in their lives.
