Curse of God

About the Book

Halelsville, Texas in 1975 was a quiet university town until Brother Bob started building a Solomon’s temple on taxes for permission to have sex!  When Journalist Professor Tom Davis rode into town, he smelled burning flesh from a torched topless bar. His investigation brought him into a relationship with vivacious Sherri Grayson. It also brought him into a deadly conflict with an insane cult leader who was intent on controlling the minds of everyone from the prosperous new car dealer to an elderly couple seeking to have one last fling before they died.  Before smoke cleared from burnt offerings, Halelsville was under siege from troops led by Federal Bureau of Investigation. Second to not even  David Koresh’s Waco compound, Brother Bob’s evil empire almost succeeded.
