The author of Predator traces the story of George Russell, Jr., a bright, young, popular black man whose thirty-year psychological unraveling led to a shocking killing spree.

As the oldest of seven siblings, Greg has always been the one to protect his brothers and sisters. He is also a guardian of souls, keeping the spirits safe from the soul-eating Reapers. With so much responsibility, he hasn't had much time to concentrate on his personal life. But that all changes when Emily knocks on his door and tells him that their family is in danger.

The love of her life left her long ago, shattering her heart into a million pieces. It's taken Hannah almost 12 years to push away the hurt and move on with life. That is, until the death of a Reaper brings Detective David Foster back to town and their paths cross once again. With more and more of the soul-eating Reapers passing through town in search of the Chosen One, who happens to be her sister, Lucy, the Estmond family has been busy enough. Now, they rally together in hopes of keeping Hannah out of prison.

Blood in the Soil is the first book about the investigation into the shooting of Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt and his country attorney in Gwinnett County, Georgia, in 1978. But this book is not primarily about Larry Flynt, or even his shooter (the serial killer Joseph Paul Franklin), though both men are of course important characters in the story. This true account is told alternately from the perspective of Detective J. Michael Cowart and by following Franklin's life from childhood through his execution.
