Four Reasons to Die

Pastor Matt Hayden is asked to deliver the Texas Inaugural Ceremony’s benediction after the scheduled speaker, Reverend Duff, disappears. Though happy to do a favor for his friend, the new governor, Matt soon discovers that a simple prayer can ignite a world of hate.

Being a former cop, Matt becomes suspicious when no one seems concerned that the pastor is missing, including the man’s assistant and several high-profile political and religious conservatives. The new governor is concerned, however, and asks Matt to help in the search for Duff.

Still recovering from a bullet to the head suffered the previous year, Matt is reluctant to pursue the matter. But when Duff’s assistant is found dead and Matt learns that the progressively liberal Duff has engaged in a pulpit war with a far-right mega church preacher, a motive for silencing Duff takes shape.

Matt joins in the hunt for the missing pastor, only to discover two preachers locked in a deadly battle, their families on the brink of destruction, and a national political power grab in the making. When the fight comes to Matt’s own family, he must find the truth or risk losing everything, including his life.
