Moments after finishing a six-month sentence in the Roanoke jail
for a crime he might not have committed, Baptist minister Joel King
is served some unwelcome papers. His wife wants a divorce, and the
teenage vixen everyone believes he seduced is suing him for five
million dollars.
Holding on to his faith with a white-knuckle grip, Joel accepts a
ride out west with Edmund Brooks, a member of his former flock who
has some Commandment-challenging ideas about helping Joel help
himself. From the author the "New York Times" "Magazine" called
"the drinking man's John Grisham," Plain Heathen Mischief" "ranges
from the cross to the double cross, from Virginia to Las Vegas,
from courtrooms to trout streams, as Martin Clark follows his
Job-like hero through dubious choices and high-dollar insurance
scams to a redemption no reader could possibly predict.
