About this ebook

Combine a suspenseful murder mystery with theology (the study and explanation of religious faith, practice, and experience) and you have The Rector. Sort of like combining Agatha Christie and C.S. Lewis in a novel. Martha McRae is a widow living in a small Mississippi Delta town in the 1950s. She's obsessed with the sudden death of her Episcopal church's young rector. A murderer could go free if she doesn't investigate. But Martha is torn. If she pursues the suspect, her Bible study friend's shocking secret could be revealed. It would be devastating, and life-changing. When the new rector arrives, she encounters a new puzzle to solve -- one that leads her into notorious Parchman Penitentiary where she comes face to face with evil.

Michael Hicks Thompson was born in his mother's own bed and raised on a small Mississippi farm. He claims to know a thing or two about strong Christian women, alcoholic men, and Jesus.
