About the novel

When Lucas Sneed returns to his hometown of Zion, Virginia and the shelter of a loving sister, he conceals a dangerous secret: he’s a suspect in a church fire that may be linked to a wave of mysterious arsons throughout the South.

This dark and complex tale blends a fast-paced, modern crime drama with a stark portrait of a fallen world—in a land of preachers and thieves, murderers and suburban dads, children and old men whose voices God no longer hears.
