The Book of Neil
Jesus is back. It is 2012 and Las Vegas magicians nightly perform miracles. Social media networking dominates and the Son of God is having a hard time getting the Word out until, that is, he decides to rob a bank with Neil's help. Two billion people on Earth call themselves Christians. A foundation belief among Christians is that Jesus, the Son of God, will again appear in bodily form amongst us. If He returned in this age of consumption, technology, and self-indulgence, what would Jesus need to do to get our attention? What could he do to draw our focus away from reality TV, the internet, and another trip to the shopping mall? That is precisely Jesus's challenge in this remarkable new novel, Hollon's ninth. After months of being dismissed as another mentally ill street-preacher who is ridiculed, arrested, and ignored, Jesus robs a bank and ends up on the front page of The New York Times as the "Jesus-Bandit."

For twenty-five years he has lived under a terrible allegation that has dominated his existence and alienated his family. One morning a stranger appears at his office with a pile of cash asking for some minor legal assistance. But two days later the stranger is arrested for the brutal murder of a rich, elderly widow, and Jack takes on the murder case. With his instincts dulled by his belief in his client’s innocence, he sets out to win the biggest case he has ever undertaken. In the process, the two lives of Jack Skinner, his personal and professional, are set on a collision course and the unexpected is only the beginning.
Blood and Circumstance
A psychological mystery from the author of The God File and The Point of Fracture. Joel Stabler kills his beloved brother Danny in what appears to be murder in the name of mercy. When Joel's lawyers assign a psychologist to determine his sanity at the time of the shooting, the full story of the brothers? past and long family history of mental illness begin to unfold. Told entirely through Joel's pre-trial interview sessions with Dr. Andrews, Blood and Circumstance takes on the argument of nature versus nurture. And as Joel responds to the doctor's probing questions, he, in turn, begins to evaluate the doctor, stealing glimpses of his notes and speculating about his personal life.

With his signature prose and unwavering, close-up lens, Frank Turner Hollon's latest achievement examines the uncertain search for identity through the criss-crossing paths of blood and circumstance.
