A town that, on a regular day, doesn't provide Police Chief Clyde Thomas and his hapless deputy, Patrol Officer Billy Ray Barnes, with a great deal to do. But it is not a regular day when the local preacher decides to go on a very unholy mission... ... And that makes it to the front page of the local newspaper, sending the tongues around the town wagging... ... And a national newspaper sends a reporter, Rita Scott, who, on learning that the charred remains of a body have been found, decides to hang around and dig a bit deeper... ... And the minister's wife hasn't been seen for a while, and an elderly resident of a care home has gone AWOL. ... And there's a gang of hell-raising bikers, wreaking havoc on the local highways. Clyde knows something's up with the preacher but is stumped as to what and why. As he tries to put the pieces together, he knows it's a race against time to prevent something terrible from happening... With colorful characters, this not-so-much-a-whodunnit-than-a-whydunnit story offers hilarity and philosophy in equal measure. A page-turner from the first page to the nail-biting ending.
