Thriller Crime
Deep in the Utah desert, the small polygamous community of
Blister Creek has a history of protecting its own. Even when
a young woman is brutally murdered just blocks from her
home, the residents of the conservative enclave close ranks.
But just because they don’t want outside law enforcement in
their business doesn’t mean the murder will go unpunished.
More than a thousand miles away, Jacob Christianson, a
medical student and son of a devout church elder, learns of
his cousin Amanda’s murder. Though Jacob is skeptical of
many of the community’s fundamentalist beliefs, his sharply
analytical mind and family connection to the victim earns
him the assignment of investigator into Amanda’s death.
Jacob heads to Blister Creek, accompanied by his inquisitive
younger sister, Eliza, to probe the bizarre circumstances of
their cousin’s violent death. It doesn’t take long for the
pair to realize that Amanda’s murder was no random act;
rather, it is part of a covert plot to overthrow the
church’s leaders. Chilling and engrossing, The Righteous has
been hailed as a "first rate suspense thriller," a tightly
plotted novel about the dark secrets hiding behind the veil
of religion.
