  • "Reverend Alson Pierce's life is destroyed by the brutal murders of his wife and son. Everything he's loved most dearly is taken from him, and he is left alone with nothing but his damaged faith in God. Upholding the Gospel's commandment to "love your enemies," Reverend Pierce requests entry into a maximum security prison to serve his nemesis, Alex Leonard, in a true Christian sense. When the prison authorities question his intentions and deny him access, the media gets."
  • "Reverend Alson Pierce, a minister whose wife and son were killed by a rapist tries to rehabilitate the criminal. He visits him in his cell and puts up with his insults. It's a charade, the minister intends to kill the criminal at the first opportunity, but what to do when the criminal asks to be baptized?"

  • "Involved and the minister's wish is granted: He and the murderer are brought together within the prison walls. What the public doesn't know is Pierce's intention to shoot the murderer dead. What the reader doesn't know is whether Pierce will fullfill his desire or not. A Story of Scorpions addresses issues of vengeance and forgiveness, redemption and damnation. A profoundly affecting thriller, it touches those fears most thrillers leave untouched, and the reader doesn't."

  • "Als de vrouw en de zoon van een dominee vermoord zijn, wil deze wraak nemen, maar zijn geloof gebiedt hem echter zijn vijanden lief te hebben."
  • "Know until the very end what Pierce really has planned for his enemy."
