An Angry God - E-book - ePub

A Serial Killer is Stalking and Young Murdering Gay Men. A Hateful Minister Says It's the Hand of God. Who Will Be Next? A serial killer is stalking young gay men in a Midwest college town. High school senior Kevin Bland, rich, brilliant, and a wild-child, meets a college freshman, Mitch Christman, who is just Kevin's type. And also the killer's type. Adding to the mix is college sophomore Brent who enlists Mitch's help in finding answers and possibly unmasking the killer.
And all the while, Dr. Spencer Fellows, anti-gay crusader, and hate-monger, stirs the pot, praising the killer for ridding the city of gay men, one by one by one. Praise for An Angry God "A wild, dialogue-driven and somewhat murderous ride through dark, but ultimately redeeming territory."-Nick Wilgus, author of the bestselling Shaking the Sugar Tree "Russell J. Sanders's fast-paced novel, told mostly through dialog, combines all the right ingredients for a contemporary murder mystery: college boys in love, vast riches and power, rancid religion and a serial killer."-Elliott Mackle, author of It Takes Two and Captain Harding's Six-Day War "There aren't many authors who, having left their teenage years decades ago, can write teen voices with any surety.
Russell J Sanders is one. This book is peopled with characters, some of which are hopeful, some wary, some confused and others self-centered to the point of oblivion. Each stands alone, and yet Sanders weaves them like reeds in a wicker basket, each strand separate, yet woven together in tight bonds of enduring strength and resilience. Some readers may wrinkle their furrowed brows in consternation and ask, where is this story going, and what is it ultimately about? I did, and in the end the answer is simple.
This is a tale of love over hatred, patience over haste, the enduring love of parents, and finally the exuberance, and the exhilaration of newly minted young love."-Michael Halfhill, author of the Jan Phillips series / Two Hearts Two Spirits and Ten Years: A Journal of the Heart
