Murder. Wit. Heart. Surprisingly mixed in a fast-paced story of one man's race.
It starts with the violent murders of three white upstanding professionals; three crimes stark in their symbolism. The first victim is hung from a tree, iron shackles around his neck and wrists. The second is burned alive in a white hood and robe. The third, staked through with a wooden cross.
Someone is sending a message, one that calls back to a dirty time in our nation's history, but what does it all mean? Rick Killing has no idea. He's a man of failed promise who let his life slip off track and now only wants to get his own house in order. But as the murders continue, he finds that the focus is on him. Why? Is he the next target, or the next reason?
To answer those high-stakes questions, to reclaim
the life he wants, Rick will have to go straight through men with plans for a new, mad world order; men who kill for cold purpose. It ends with a challenge to everything Rick has ever held close and a threat to the lives of those nearest to him.
Fans of DeMille characters will enjoy Rick Killing and his nature.
