A Gripping Mystery Asks: Do We Really Have Free Will?
The thriller, "A Jealous God," by Dee Wilbur, examines whether the sins of the fathers are visited upon generations to come.
RICHMOND, TX (PRWEB) October 29, 2006 -- In Dee Wilbur's provocative thriller, "A Jealous God," two lawyers search for clues to infant deformities and find a searing mystery which makes them question everything they ever thought they knew about free will.
In the Third Commandment, God promises to repay the children for the sins of the father. When one generation sins, does a jealous God really demand that subsequent generations pay for the crimes? How much of our lives is really under our control? When Emma, an attorney, discovers her unborn child is deformed, she goes on the attack, tracking down other mothers with similar tragedies. She suspects a local chemical plant is responsible for leaking toxins, but will the plant's lawyer, Jon, help her -- especially when the plant is his only major client and his ticket to marrying Sandy, the woman he loves? The truth these two lawyers discover is far more sinister than anything they could conceive.
Wilbur writes with page-turning intensity, keeping the reader guessing until the last shocking scenes. Seamlessly meshing together the details of modern fertility technology with the intricacies of small-town Texas relationships, "A Jealous God" asks whether we have the power to right the wrongs of those who came before us.

What Others Are Saying
"In A Jealous God, author Dee Wilbur provides a tough and tenacious protagonist in attorney Emma Anderson, whose investigation of possible corporate malfeasance by a small-town Texas chemical company could have major implications for the handful of local women whose stillborn infants all had major chromosomal birth defects. . . Pitted against this feisty Houston lawyer is Jon Miller, an attorney representing the Hays Chemical Company, whose easygoing style and 'country competence' are a perfect foil for Emma's not altogether ethical big city antics.
A Jealous God…dishes up a fast-paced mix of mystery and intrigue, while the characters deftly portray the nuances of loyalty, honesty, and avarice that make for great reading even as they ultimately define us as human. At the same time, the author gives stunning life to the urgency of the third of the Ten Commandments, which warns us that the sins of the fathers are ultimately visited up their children by the judgmental hand of a jealous god."
