A Murder of Saints
Sophie Fields is a little girl tortured by her memories of Damien Smith, a much-loved and respected church elder with a secret lust for the unmentionable. After his misdeeds are covered up by church leaders, she climbs to the roof of her house and jumps to her death, right in front of her shocked brother, Charlie.
Twenty years later, detective Harry Fletcher is still haunted by the personal demons associated with the church cover-up. After losing his faith, his wife, and now his partner, Fletcher learns that Charlie Fields has come back to town with one mission: to kill everyone responsible for his sister's death. It is Fletcher's job to track and stop the crazed killer. But as it becomes clear who the main targets are, Fletcher finds himself in the midst of a moral quagmire. Although he sees justice in Charlie's crusade, the killer seems to be taking out others not responsible for his family's destruction. As Fletcher and his new partner battle each other in a test of ideology and limits of the law, the real demons show up and change everything.
In this chilling tale of suspense, revenge, and evil, a police detective wrestles with his moral conscience while attempting to stop a serial killer avenging his sister's death.

Praise for this book
"5 Stars...A fast paced suspense-thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Chris Miller made an unforgettable tale with his spine chilling suspense combined with hatred, revenge, and faith. Then the ending just blindsided me. You will never see that coming. I look forward to more spine-chilling tales from Chris Miller."--Rebecca Larsen, All Things Book-Review
"...[Miller has] crafted a story of near Shakespearean power and depth. I just finished [his] novel, "A Murder of Saints", and my hands are still shaking as I write this. I celebrate [Miller's] amazing talent and this novel, which I believe, will stand out among the greats in this genre. [The] characters faithfully personify the bitterness, hatred, hypocrisy, dedication, heartbreak, and faith that I believe [he] intended to portray in them. The story is gripping, hard to put down. I read it through beginning yesterday. It is a real "page turner"."--Michael, Amazon Customer
"I very rarely find a book that I want to stay up all night reading -- literally. It has been a very long since there has been one. THIS IS IT. I was on the edge of my seat with every page. AND THE ENDING! Totally blind-sided by that one. Incredible first book from this author and [I] can't wait for the next one."--Nancy, Amazon Customer
"A great read. [Miller] grabs you with one aspect of life, then gets you with another. You hear the saying "couldn't put the book down". Well, I literally couldn't. Fully intend on getting his next work. MASTERPIECE!"--Amazon Customer
"[A Murder of Saints] is full of suspense and thrill-riding emotions. It shows the destruction [created by] secrets as well as what can happen in the minds and hearts of victims and the souls left behind to deal with [a] tragedy. I loved it. And I...could not put it down."--Bobbie Brown-Wilson
"If you're looking for a book that you can't put down, this is your book! I personally was hooked at the prologue. From the beginning [Miller] has you on the edge of your seat wanting more. Then the twist hits about half way through the book (don't want to spoil). If you're needing a good book to read...this is your book."--Trevin, Amazon Customer
"'A Murder of Saints', [the] new novel by Chris Miller, is a chilling story of suspense, revenge, and the evil born of intense hatred. A young boy witnesses the annihilation of his family at the hands of someone he trusts. The pain he feels fuels a life of revenge and carnage. The reader is drawn into a tale that explores the abuse of power and the limits of cruelty in a titanic struggle of one man with his own soul. Meanwhile, the two mystified lawmen who grapple with this case also battle each other in a test of...ideology and the limits of the law. To call this novel a struggle of good and evil is to put it lightly, and the softer, quieter moments battle the plot for dominance. Steel yourself for a violent page-turner...and keep the antacid tablets nearby."--Fran Rathburn, Ret., Adjunct Professor of English, East Tennessee State University
