Righteous02 - Mighty and Strong

Read Righteous02 - Mighty and Strong Storyline:

For years Jacob Christianson struggled to reconcile his faith with his skepticism about the polygamous practices of his religious community. That doubt, combined with a sharp analytical mind, enabled him to solve the ritualistic murder of his cousin at the hands of bloodthirsty fundamentalists within their own church. Now, those experiences have captured the attention of the FBI, who come to Jacob with an unusual request: infiltrate a millennialist cult and extract the undercover agent who has fallen off the radar. Jacob reluctantly agrees, but it doesn’t take long to realize that his mission will be easier said than done. Impatient and unwilling to heed Jacob’s warnings, the FBI closes in, forcing a power play with the dangerous cultists—with Jacob and his family caught squarely in the middle. Tense and engaging, Mighty and Strong offers “an in-depth ride into a world few have entered,” a page-turning foray into the realm of religious extremists and the lengths to which they will go to defend their beliefs.Review"This deeply intellectual thriller is the perfect slow burn that pays off in an explosive ending that I couldn’t turn away from.  It is the 1812 Overture of novels.  Steady, insistent pacing that ends in cymbal crashes and cannon fire.  Jacob is a fascinating and thought-provoking hero that is all too rare to find.  Wallace’s writing is brilliant and engrossing from the first page to the last.” -Crimespree MagazinePraise for The Righteous:"Deeply engrossing!
