The Celibates: A Serial Killer Mystery

Julie Boucher, a Knoxville, Tennessee police detective, investigates prostitution, narcotics trafficking, outlaw biker gangs, amphetamine cookers, automotive theft, and social welfare fraud. But she also encounters a series of extraordinarily brutal murders that only culminate in investigative dead ends. Is there any possibility they are linked?

James Ewell Brown, an avowed Christian celibate whose hypocritical Pastor causes him to lose faith in God, engages in a relationship with a virgin dominatrix.

Dr. Lynn Greer, a gynecologist specializing in Family Planning and In Vitro Fertilization is the director of a new clinic, offering a comprehensive range of women's services, including pregnancy terminations. But she faces significant obstacles in a cultural environment dominated by pro-life Christian Evangelists.

Julie and Lynn cross paths after the doctor is assaulted following a pro-life demonstration, and then again after the sadistic murder of a pregnant home-based prostitute.

The lives of the characters intersect at the clinic, where a bomb threat exposes an internal scandal that ultimately alters everyone's future.

A kaleidoscope of colorful characters exists in a conservative southern environment, paradoxically undermined by poverty, alcohol abuse and the nationwide drug epidemic.
