A fictional world set in two locations.
Small town Texas . . . and coastal
Mississippi after the storm.
A Jealous God
Compellingly told from multiple points of view, A Jealous God follows Emma on her labyrinthine journey in search of the truth at all costs. A brilliant attorney with unflappable focus, she becomes consumed with learning who is responsible for several similar birth defects originating in her hometown. Her quest introduces her to a number of colorful characters. One of these is Jon, the local attorney whose largest client—Hays Chemical—is the target of Emma’s investigation. Jon embarks in pursuit of answers of his own, only to come to the realization that the suffering heaped upon these children dates back far further than he, Emma, or Hays Chemical could have ever imagined. It was, in fact, foretold in the oldest book of all.
Justice Perverted
Jon’s back, and he’s in trouble again. Sandy’s coming back to Richmond to marry him, and she’s worried about how she’s gonna fit in. She doesn’t even know about Diego’s murder charge and the teenage marijuana ring Jon will have to defend.
Sandy dozed intermittently with her head on Jon’s shoulder as they headed west on IH 10. She thought about the changes that had just occurred in her life: her father’s death, quitting her teaching job in New Orleans, and packing all her belongings in the U-Haul truck in which she was riding. Her mind then raced to the changes that were to come: her marriage to Jon, moving to the town of Richmond, Texas, and the effect that the community would have on her and she would have on the town. She could not have foreseen the arrest of Jon’s partner for murder, the teenage marijuana ring, or the complete perversion of justice about to take place.
