In the Devil's Pocket (Paperback)

Decades ago, a chain of events began deep in the Appalachian Mountains that will terrorize the country for ages to come. John Bayley emerges from the aftermath to seize his place in history. For generations before his birth, John was bred from evil. Evil rears its child with the cruelest of human nature, and John is molded into a spiteful, master manipulator. Unaware of his destiny, John chooses to become a minister. John's golden tongue raises him to idol status. His newfound power becomes an addiction and he is willing to do anything to feed it. John's mind loses sight of the truth. Unable to judge himself, he believes that he is the right hand of God and destined to destroy the world using unthinkable means. John accomplishes the impossible and wreaks havoc across the countryside until the remnants of good stand against him. Desperation and bloody sacrifice crumbles John's empire even faster than it rose. The predator quickly becomes prey. Abandoned and out of options, John can no longer hide from his true destiny. Does mankind triumph over evil, or is John just another link in the chain that tightens around our souls?
