About this book
Description
Trouble is brewing in a mountain valley in Maryland where Gardner Lawson practises law. A mysterious religious cult has moved into the county, and settled in an abandoned granite quarry. Known as CAIN (for Caucasian Alternative Independent Nation), this fanatical group is soon attracting media attention. Several racial 'hate' incidents ensue, and an elderly black man dies in unusual circumstances. Is the official verdict of heart attack correct?The dead man's son is police detective Joseph Brown, whobecomes convinced that CAIN was somehow responsible -- and begins a secret investigation. When the CAIN leader is also found dead, 'Brownie' becomes the prime suspect of murder. For Gardner Lawson there is now no choice but to resign his position as State's Attorney in order to become his close friend's lawyer. The ensuing inquiries and a high-tension trial will force many to confront their owninnate prejudices ... and lure some dark secrets out of the shadows.
