SAC Time

In Los Angeles, California, three people ritualistically murder Marjorie Crossman’s husband and they aren’t talking. Fearing that Marjorie might be next, twin sister Claudia Thompson, a Houston, Texas police officer, wants Marjorie to quit her teaching job at Inglewood High School and move back home to Texas. But Marjorie is determined to see her husband’s killers brought to justice. A string of teenage suicides brings her into contact with a serial rapist who believes his son was killed by classmates and they might be connected to the death of Marjorie’s husband.

Twelve-hundred miles away, Houston, Texas private investigator Gordan Macbeth has his own problems. A new client wants him to find out why her son committed suicide during class at Charterwood High School. Macbeth’s quest to solve the case and his developing relationship with teacher Angela Howard further complicates his dysfunctional lifestyle. Macbeth’s friend, a Harris County Sheriff’s Department detective, worries that Gordon’s unusual case might come back to haunt them both.

Although cult worship in all its forms is historical fact, political correctness prevents exposure of its worst elements. R.D. Sexton’s SAC Time weaves a tale of cult related horror, how the main characters are affected, and how they respond. Tension-filled dialogue, troubled characters, and a complex villain drive the reader towards a twisted ending.
