He Comes In Fire is a thrilling, new literary crime novel set in the fictional southern town of Zion, Virginia in the late 1990s. For months, mysterious fires have been igniting the South, burning down rural African-American churches, making national news, and raising fears of a racist arsonist on the loose. The public is left dumbfounded when no clear motives, patterns or groups are found responsible for the arson spree. Fingers quickly point at misunderstood drifter Lucas Sneed and his partner Jack Dixon, a flawed preacher struggling to lead a moral life. The two become entangled in a chaotic, sin-filled drama that can only end in violence – and a shocking discovery of guilt.

He Comes In Fire explores how the search for answers can lead to false accusations and tragic judgment calls. In a town of corrupt preachers, criminals, and lost souls, anyone can make the suspect list.
