The Dead, the Door, and the Double-Minded (ePub)

A prominent and well-respected Mississippi mental institution has introduced a new vocational program that will allow female residents to work in the community as home companions to elderly women who wish to remain in their homes and out of nursing facilities. But when social worker Joanna Geyer observes one of these residents on a shopping spree, accompanied by the son of the elderly woman to whom she is assigned, she is concerned that it may not be the elderly to which their companionship is being provided. Fully aware that sexual abuse preys mostly on those who are physically, socially, or psychologically vulnerable, she requests the assistance of someone with ties to Mississippi, someone who has the investigative instincts to confirm or rule out her concerns.
Jim McClain is an FBI agent in Chicago with relatives in the Magnolia state. When his son began running with the wrong crowd three years ago, Jason found himself in trouble with the law; and now he has disappeared. If Jason does not surface by the time he turns twenty-one-only six months away-he will be forced to face the full consequences of his actions. THE DEAD, THE DOOR, AND THE DOUBLE-MINDED provides the reader with a fictional account of one man's attempt to locate his son while assisting in a covert investigation regarding possible human trafficking.
