A CASE OF PIOUS MURDER?

When a City Councilman is killed, the citizens of Whitewater, Washington demand an immediate solution to the town's first unsolved murder in decades.

Police Chief Jack Tallon's only clue implicates Dharmaville, a controversial religious cult led by an inscrutable swami. Was it a case of holy homicide?

Tallon's bizarre investigation unearths a slew of skeletons in Whitewater's closets and produces more problems than answers. From the motorcycle arsonist to the kidnapped Hollywood starlet to the mistress in Spokane. It all adds up to... TROUBLE FOR TALLON.

Mr. Ball has also authored a number of notable young adult books. Praise for John Ball "The guy certainly knows his airplanes well and he held my interest very tightly as he developed the story." —RICHARD BACH, author of Stranger to the Ground and Biplane (Rescue Mission) "A nice tight murder puzzle." —Times Literary Supplement (Five Pieces of Jade) "A taut, dramatic yarn." —Charlotte Observer (Five Pieces of Jade) "Tibbs is as much a model of perfection as the late Wimsey... A good detective who actually ratiocinates." —Times Literary Supplement (London) (Then Came Violence) "John Ball knows how to run with a good plot--and this is one of his best." —Kirkus Reviews (Singapore) "A top notch mystery." —News & Observer (The Kiwi Target) "A breathtaking suspense thriller." —Seattle Post-Intelligencer (The Kiwi Target) "The Kiwi Target is the last book that John Ball wrote.
