Description:

**Creston Mapes** is the author of the #1 Amazon bestselling Christian fiction mystery, *Nobody*, along with the bestselling Christian fiction thrillers *Fear Has a Name, Dark Star *and* Full Tilt.* ** Ideal for fans of Ted Dekker, Frank Peretti, Jerry Jenkins and Joel Rosenberg. **There's More Than One Kind of Poison in This Town** ## People are sick and dying. Rumors are swirling. Some claim chemicals leaking from a manufacturing plant are causing the cancer that's crippling people on the poor side of Trenton City, Ohio. Yet nothing at the plant appears amiss. The problem remains a mystery until reporter Jack Crittendon's long-time mechanic falls ill and he investigates. Soon Jack becomes engulfed in a smokescreen of lies, setups, greed, and scandal. The deeper he digs, the more toxic the corruption he uncovers. As he faces off with the big-time players behind the scenes and tries to beat the clock before more people die, he realizes the chillingly unthinkable--he knows too much. ** ### Review "Creston explores the evils of corporate greed and exposes an even more menacing enemy lurking inside all of us.

I thoroughly enjoyed *Poison Town.*" **Francine Rivers, best-selling author** *** *** "Every time you think the tension can't be more intense, Creston Mapes ramps it up a notch.

Mapes has perfected the head-jumping to a finely tuned craft. ****Sheer genius. **In this book, he's perfected the way the story lines are interwoven and how they come together. Be prepared to read far into the night. Be prepared to consume this book like a tall glass of chocolate milk: You just can't drink it slowly. I promise you will not be disappointed." **UPON REFLECTION book review by Gina Burgess** ### From the Author I used to work as a reporter in an Ohio city very similar to Trenton City, Ohio--the setting for *Poison Town.* This has been one of my favorite books to write, because it's got some humor in it, especially as it relates to Jack's mechanic friends, Galen, Travis and LJ. I love the cover and title of the book. It's the type of novel I would pick up. If you haven't read any of my novels before, *Poison Town* would be a great place to start.
