Sins of Deception

By Randy Roeder

"There's nothing like the collapse of your every claim to human decency to take the edge off the day."

Cletus Efferding has everything going for him-a beautiful fianc e, a successful business, dinners at the Cedar Rapids Country Club, and a luxurious penthouse condo awaiting his arrival, There's just one problem. Cletus has difficulties with the truth and his deceptions catch up with him.

With his life in shambles, a reluctant Cletus undertakes a mission to rescue the young man responsible for his downfall and return him unharmed to the arms of a loving sister. Gone are the days of lunches with bank presidents as Cletus finds himself in the New Mexican desert sharing brown rice with delusional cult members.

Cut off from the outside world, Clete discovers a community where nothing is as it appears to be, followers are virtual prisoners, and those seen as threats to a paranoid leadership disappear. His world grows steadily smaller until he discovers the true meaning of life-survival.
