• WINNER: Pinnacle Book Achievement Award - Best Literary Fiction

Worth Sullivan is the celebrity pastor of the globally renowned Harvest Fields megachurch. Kirk Madison is an esteemed former US Army general and popular US senator. Both men came from humble beginnings in the Ozarks, but today are highly successful beacons of hope and leadership in a nation torn apart by political and social divisions. Then Kirk announces he's running for president.

Decades earlier, Worth and Kirk witnessed the death of a young girl and agreed to never speak of it. While Kirk seems to have made his peace, Worth still dreams of the dead girl every night. The deep forensics of presidential campaigns makes it likely this indiscretion will soon come to light—taking down Kirk's campaign, destroying Worth's life, and possibly pushing the nation into full-blown civil war. Can Worth set things right, or will the dead girl seek justice on her own?

EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a gripping narrative of skillfully woven perspectives and time periods, at once a thrilling mystery and an inside look at the inner workings of the American political machine, the casual insidiousness of the media, the influence of religion, and the inequity of the justice system that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
