to know good and evil . . . .
HAS FINALLY BEEN RELEASED
A light airplane crashed into his hog pens and erupted into flames. The ensuing FAA investigation convinced the small town that the crash was an accident. Except for one person. Ted Grant was an academic colleague and good friend of Dr. David Lanmore, and Ted knew that Dr. Lanmore had just discovered a cure for cancer.
The last place Frank Adams wanted to investigate an airplane accident was in his hometown of Scottsville, North Carolina. Though his parents were no longer living, Clayton Housley, his uncle, wielded significant influence over the town and surrounding areas as if it were his own fiefdom.
But Ted Grant’s call was urgent and disturbing. Apparently, S&H Pharmaceuticals had discovered Dr. Lanmore’s secret and would go to any lengths to acquire the research. But would they kill for it? And if Frank meddled in the town’s business, would his life be in danger?
