Holly Creek Christian Church has a caring pastor and a growing congregation. They have outgrown their sanctuary, and a generous gift of land from a member has made it possible for them to build a new church. But someone is going to extraordinary lengths to prevent them from building—with dire and deadly results! The police get off to a slow start on seeing connections between events, so Pastor Thomas Wilson reluctantly becomes a detective. When he does, both he and his wife end up as targets of a man who will kill to get the results he wants.

"The plot is full of suspense and puzzles that keep the mind fully
engaged. Characters Thomas Wilson, Amy, and all members of the congregation and community who have speaking roles in this story come alive and seem very real. Burton skillfully creates several characters who aren't who they seem to be (both good and bad), and this increases the interest and suspense." -- Radine Trees Nehring, author of A RIVER TO DIE FOR and other books in the "Something to Die for" Ozarks mystery series.

"Tony Burton's story will keep you turning the pages, anxious to find out the answers. It is great to read a mystery book where you do not have to worry about the worldview." -- Jim Black of The Bedford Review

"A page-turner with a steady pulse, Blinded By the Darkness will be treasured by mystery readers of all ages..." -- Donna Sundblad, author of Pumping Your Muse and Windwalker
