Reverend Emerson James if a pillar of his community. The pastor of the High River North Carolina 7th Day Nondenominational Church, the biggest church outside of nearby Charlotte, has been a dream for him for the past twenty years. Emerson is loved and respected by pretty much everyone.
So why is someone trying to blackmail him? And for five million dollars?
And how far will he go to keep his scandalous secrets from coming to light?
Because Emerson James is no saint. His platform and his power have gone to his head.
And when one of his parishioners ends up murdered, it's the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back. Because the church is about to be thrown into a whole lot of chaos—and it just might not survive.
