Only by death : a novel

Herman, Kathy (author.).

Summary: "Is Liam Berne a loving son-or a murderer? The second book in the Ozark Mountain Trilogy, Only by Death is a thought-provoking suspense story of a man who loses everything and learns he must die to find life. After much agonizing, Liam Berne takes his mother, who has Alzheimer's, to the Sure Foot River and drowns her. A mercy killing, he tells himself, to spare her years in a nursing home . And getting his inheritance early isn't a bad thing either. Dixie Berne's body is recovered and the coroner cannot find any sign of foul play, though Liam's sister isn't convinced. Then Liam hears rumors that a twelve-year-old boy has witnessed the drowning. Terrified that he will be discovered, Liam sets out to intimidate the boy into silence. Little does Liam know that someone else suspects him-someone who intends to make him pay." -- ONIX annotation.

    Tired of caring for his elderly mother who suffers from Alzheimer's, Liam Berne drowns her in a river, believing that the dual benefit of freedom and inheritance will guarantee an enjoyable future. However, 12-year-old Jesse Cummings, who holds a strong faith in Jesus, witnesses the crime, and, conflicted about what to do, confides in a friend about what he saw. Unfortunately, that confession makes its way back to Liam, who abducts Jesse with plans to kill him. The two end up in the mountains, where they encounter a dangerous fugitive. With death close at hand, Jesse attempts to save Liam's soul by telling him to seek forgiveness. A twist of fate makes Liam reconsider Jesse's request. VERDICT Herman's second entry in the "Ozark Mountain" trilogy (after Not by Sight) offers a swift-moving spiritual thriller that features plenty of plot twists along with themes of redemption, faith, and salvation.
