Kingdom Come

It is 1988. The state of Louisiana is confronted with the greatest mystery of all time. If God sent a savior, would they be able to recognize him?

Some of the most colorful, farcical, vivid, ambitious, passionate and dangerous characters to grace the page, all meet in an exciting novel, full of surprising plot twists, murder, mayhem and all with an entirely surprising ending. Just as West Side Story is a clever retelling of Romeo and Juliet, this well-crafted mystery is a contemporary retelling of the Bible. The reader careens along with familiar biblical characters, now in the form of contemporary citizens as they try to figure out a true Messiah from among this cast of madmen, conmen and impostors. It is a tale for our time.

David, the scion of a prominent family is running for governor. Twin scholars promise to create the world's greatest computer company and the first AI model in order to recharge the faltering economy. Kimball, the most successful businessman is jousting with his rivals to save the state. Pastor Fair the televangelist, Lane the physician, the entire Lemoyne political family dynasty, nurses, lawyers, judges and a host of others, all have 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.

There is a twist, Unbeknownst to everyone, God has indeed sent them true salvation and a bona fide savior. Nothing comes easy for Louisiana, unfortunately the devil got word that that the Messiah is there in a small town, down in the Bayou and Satan appears to tempt and confound the citizens. Can Satan identify the Messiah before the citizens do?  If he is successful, perhaps he can crucify the Messiah before the Savior delivers the promise of salvation to not only Louisiana, but also to entire world. The stakes are enormous, the battle epic. Who is a fraud?  Who is the devil? Who is the Messiah? Who will win the race for the citizens' souls and faith? It is truly an unfathomable novel and like no other you will ever read.
