About this ebook
A Tricia Gleason Novel
Mark Henry Miller
Tricia Gleason, about to start a new ministry in Snoqualmie, Washington, knows that good ministry includes preaching that doesnt cure insomnia, a caring presence with members especially when they hurt, and helping people grow in their beliefs. She takes a good first step toward each of these goals. She comforts a woman abused in marriage, she consoles an engineer whose boss demeans her, and her first sermon was the topic at the Snoqualmie Coffee Shop.
What she didnt know made a difference and it was not for the good. She didnt know that every confidential conversation was not private. She didnt know the unseen listener wrote notes of the confidences and shared them in the church and with the neighbors. Trust was replaced by betrayal. Affirmation became rejection.
A church member at worship one Sunday shouted at Tricia for being untrustworthy. Two days later the irate member was shot dead. The revolver was found in Tricias closet. Tricia is charged with murder, and the future is bleak. Her shadowed menace is delighted how he has orchestrated the charges and triggered doubt and mistrust everywhere. Homicide charges push her to the end of her rope. She tries to hang onbut may not make it.
Mark Henry Miller
Dr. Mark Henry Miller is a retired United Church of Christ local church pastor and Conference Minister. He and his wife, Diane, and their three faithful buddies, Faith [English Cocker Spaniel], Caleb [King Charles Cavalier] and Copper [Yellow Lab], live in Leander, Texas, where there is neither salmon nor winter steelhead fishing. Which means Mark knows how to always find the Austin Airport to get to Oregon or Washington for fishingreal fishing, he adds. The fishing comes naturally to Mark, having been born in Portland, Oregon. He found the libraries often enough at Stanford University, Yale University Divinity School and Eden Theological Seminary to earn various degrees leading to ordination. Truth Uncovered, not unlike his five previous novels includes life, ministry, fishing and murder, but rarely in that order. This novels venue is Tillamook, Oregon and The Columbia River at Buoy Ten, where river and ocean greet each other. The authors picture shows an almost 30 pound fall Chinook Salmon caught out of the Church Hole, part of the Buoy Ten Fishery. The salmon makes a cameo appearance in the novel as does the Church Hole. You can see the Astoria-Megler bridge in the background, another cameo player. The author is the one without the fins; hes not in the novel. If you are interested in the other Tricia Gleason novels, she appears in all five and is instrumental in helping solve homicides, they are available on www.authorhouse.com and www.amazon/kindle.com.
