A black man is nailed to a tree in the eden-like town of Goldstrike! The victim,Isaac Caldwell,is the peace-loving minister son of a popular televangelist and the grandson of the angry, vengeful Mahalia, who raised him.Chief of Police, Ron Ketchum, had been accused of bigotry when he worked in Los Angeles. Now Ron is called a recovering bigot, and he sets out to solve this heinous crime in his idyllic, affluent town.At the same time there is a vicious mountain lion terrifying Goldstrike. Ron's deputy is assigned to help Corrie Knox, the game warden, track the wily cat. Is the cat part of the curse on the town because of the crucifixion, as Mahalia has claimed?I enjoyed the characters and mystery of this complimentary copy and will read more from Joseph Flynn.
