Title: Reaping the Whirlwind Author: Rosey Dow Publisher: Winepress Publishing ISBN: 1-579-21296-4 Genre: Inspirational/Historical/Mystery
When an elderly woman dies in her own home, behind locked doors, something tells Deputy Sheriff Trent Tyson it wasn't a heart attack that killed her. Lab results verify she's been poisoned. Within days another body turns up. Tyson knows this isn't a coincidence, but how can he prove it? Dayton, Tennessee may harbor bootleggers, but a murderer?
Soon, this sleepy little town becomes embroiled in a trial designed to test a new Tennessee law banning the teaching of evolution in the classroom. Against the backdrop of the 1925 Scope's Trial a serial killer decides to get weed out those citizens deemed "less than perfect." When Trent realizes his own young daughter is a target, he responds quickly, but will he be too late?
Reaping the Whirlwind keeps readers glued to the pages, guessing at the killer's identity to the very end. Author Rosey Dow's incredible writing techniques make history come alive in this well-written suspense that incorporates little known facts about the "Trial of the Century." | |
