The tale is today's headlines meet Confederacy of Dunces. The reader careens across the narrative with the citizens and must choose among this ensemble cast of hilarious characters, who all declare that they are the true Messiah Louisiana and the world so desperately needs.

Lane the physician, the entire Lemoyne political family dynasty, nurses, lawyers, judges and a host of others, all propose their own elegant plans to save Louisiana from hard times. All promise that they are the true Messiah that Louisiana has been seeking, but just when it appears safe to go outside, a serial killer terrorizes the community.  

The quest for power results in deceit and double dealing and if God has indeed sent them a bona fide savior, can anyone really identify their deliverer in time? Nothing comes easy for Louisiana or the reader, bad actors bedevil. tempt and confound the citizens.  Can The Twin's AI project succeed in producing a prosperous and glorious future?  Does David become the governor and a benevolent, wise leader that the times demand, or should his dreams of ruling Louisiana like King Louis XIV, disqualify him from leadership?  Will Lane and the doctors save a poor, medically ailing town from its past?  The last time a Messiah came to save everyone, it ended in a crucifixion.

The stakes are enormous, the battle for the state's future epic. Who is a fraud?  Who is devil? Who is the Messiah. It is truly an unfathomable novel that will startle you in the end and is quite unlike any other you will ever read.
