About Scherib

Read an excerpt from Scherib >>

Bill's first novel, The Bossuet Conspiracy (iUniverse, 2003), was based on the mysterious death of Trappist monk, Thomas Merton. Scherib is a sequel, though it stands alone for the reader.

In the latter chapters of Bossuet, Pat Beason, soon to be governor of Tennessee, reveals that she had a child out of wedlock while in college. That child, now 25-year-old Jenny Peale, becomes the protagonist in this sequel as she searches for the identity of her father. This quest takes her to Michael Brittain, an archbishop who is caught up in the Catholic Church's scandalous problem with pedophilic priests. Not only that, but she becomes witness to a conspiracy hatched by David Carnes, a co-worker at Tennessee Valley Authority headquarters. Pat and her paramour, Dr. Trey Crockett, are involved in the web of events that lead to a blockbuster, suspenseful ending.

To top it off, there is a surprise connection to the life of Merton.

What Others Have to Say...

"...takes readers to the edge of their seats as a plot unfolds to blow up a dam..."

"... a story whose outcome was completely unpredictable and well worth the read."
