Lords of Paradise Lon Laflamme

A serial killer is on the loose in the Promised Valley. A dark and twisted fantasy has mutated into an unquenchable obsession to pluck the souls of beautiful dark-haired girls. A wealthy, power-wielding Salt Lake City polygamist is willing, even hungry, to murder young women to protect his dirty little secrets. Is there a connection? Investigative reporter Charlie Carver invades the strange yet fascinating world of life behind the gray cement walls of the Goodman polygamist fortress to begin to get some answers.

Carver finds himself at the center of a media firestorm surrounding the unprecedented court testimony of a sixteen-year-old girl accusing her father and uncle of incest and child abuse. He decides to bust polygamy wide open with an indicting exposé of millionaire corporate attorney and polygamy "Lord," Donald Goodman. The story spins faster and faster as the serial killer and several Goodman clansmen suspects begin to cross paths, ensnaring Charlie in a potentially deadly game of whodunit.
