Deep in the Utah desert, the small polygamous community of Blister Creek has a history of protecting its own. Even when a young woman is brutally murdered just blocks from her home, the residents of the conservative enclave close ranks. But just because they donâ€™t want outside law enforcement in their business doesnâ€™t mean the murder will go unpunished. More than a thousand miles away, Jacob Christianson, a medical student and son of a devout church elder, learns of his cousin Amandaâ€™s murder. Though Jacob is skeptical of many of the communityâ€™s fundamentalist beliefs, his sharply analytical mind and family connection to the victim earns him the assignment of investigator into Amandaâ€™s death. Jacob heads to Blister Creek, accompanied by his inquisitive younger sister, Eliza, to probe the bizarre circumstances of their cousinâ€™s violent death. It doesnâ€™t take long for the pair to realize that Amandaâ€™s murder was no random act; rather, it is part of a covert plot to overthrow the churchâ€™s leaders. Chilling and engrossing, The Righteous has been hailed as a â€œfirst rate suspense thriller,â€ a tightly plotted novel about the dark secrets hiding behind the veil of religion.
