The 'Novel Vigilante'

A Suspense Murder Mystery


No one's listening to Bailey Cordell - except when she writes.

Sewing facts into a novel, Bailey's vendetta consumes her days until casual conversations over lunch leads the killer to her door.

An attempt on Bailey’s life dubs her a 'Novel Vigilante,' drawing thirteen people together; some are cast into a spiritual crucible, indicted by the laws of mercy and grace. Others step through doors opened by the crime to minister Christ’s message of hope, healing and salvation. Nonetheless, each comes face-to-face with the God to whom alone vengeance belongs.

But...who killed her husband? And why do they want her dead?

The 'Novel Vigilante' is a passionate tale of revenge, revelation and reconciliation.
