The Reverend's Powder

Book Five of The Black Ink Chapbook Series THEN: Reverend Billy Simms has healed tens of thousands during his two decades as a faith healer, and his reputation as “the real thing” draws thousands of the sick, the weak, and the wounded. Against his better judgment, Matthew agrees to accompany his cancer-stricken sister to the faith revivalist’s assembly. A skeptic at heart, he recognizes the reverend as a fraud, but can’t help but to feel hope as his sister’s condition seems to improve. Two days later, she is dead. NOW: As Reverend Simms stands naked, unconscious, and strapped to a hand truck, Matthew has a decision to make. He has reached a fork; one road stretching toward forgiveness and the other descending into bloody revenge.
