The Truth That Kills
(1992)(The Wisdom Of Serpents)
(The second book in the Nate Rosen Mystery series)A novel by Ron Levitsky
"Fascinating, disturbing, remarkable." - Mystery News
Civil-liberties lawyer Nate Rosen came to Earlyville, Tennessee, to defend the freedom of a fringe religious sect to use rattlesnakes in its worship. But that freedom did not include license to kill local tycoon Ben Hobbes, whose pretty young wife was a convert to the Holiness Church. Suddenly Nate was faced not with upholding the letter of the law but uncovering the secrets of flesh as he followed a trail of ungodly lust, devilish greed, and hellish vengeance to find a killer more deadly than any snake...
The Truth That Kills is a noirish thriller, examining the lengths a man will go to get what he wants. Perfect for fans of The Firm and Presumed Innocent.
