The Gospel of the Serpent

By: Rutherford, Patricia

After their parents' death, siblings Chris and Patty are sent to a wealthy religious foster family in rural Tennessee. The Whitmores' home is orderly. Their rules are strict. Their church is hidden deep in the mountains.
When foster teens begin disappearing, Chris uncovers a snake-handling cult that calls it faith and leaves no witnesses behind.
To save his sister, he must escape a gospel where belief is proven with venom.
Gospel of the Serpent is a dark Appalachian horror novel about fanaticism, missing children, and the danger of absolute faith.
