The Polygamist is tale about God's plan concerning marriage, told from the perspective of a twenty-first century Christian, totally separate from any teachings of the Mormans.
The Director of the Institute for Biblical Research, Bill Darnel, Ph.D, was not aware of "Operation Extreme Unction" in which he was targeted by a religious conspiracy for assassination. Nor did Bill Darnel know that the assassin was Alan Becker who was sitting in on his Bible classes. Becker, code named "the Monk," was not at the IBR to be edified by the Word of God, but to spy out Bill Darnel and build a case for administering "extreme unction" to Darnel. Alan Becker was vengeful to the core, "a dark spirit who chews the cud of his rejection."
Amidst the intrigue and old friend of Darnel's calls upon him with a sincere desire to know what the Bible teaches regarding a man having more than one wife. The friend, Stuart Clayton, is a recent widower who is contemplating having multiple wives, if the Scripture sanctions the practice. Dr. Darnel and Clayton have an all day discussion concerning polygamy, in doing so Darnel; with surgeons skill dissects both the Old and New Testament. His findings are astounding.
The Polygamist has many twists and turns. The fate of Alan Becker can only be described as "Alfred Hitchcockian."
As the story develops there is the underlying question, "Who is the polygamist in this book?"
You'll read about a Cajun beauty, Alalida Devereaux, who has a joy for life, and her one night of love results in two momentous, life-altering events. She is one of the polygamist's wives.
The story is interlaced with treachery, mystery, action, romance, sadness, and the love of the truth. The characters are memorable, and the dialog is unerringly realistic.
