Mesilla Valley Readers of Southern New Mexico Hosts Author J. Todd Scott
The Mesilla Valley Book Club invites you to a discussion with author J. Todd Scott, on Thursday, November 10, 2022 from 4-5 PM (MT) via Zoom.
Award winning novelist, J. Todd Scott, a 25-year veteran of the DEA, will discuss his most recent publication. From http://jtoddscott.com/ The Flock is a chillingly engrossing thriller about a cult survivor who must confront the horrors of her past to ensure the safety of the future.
Ten years after a fiery raid kills her family, former cult member Sybilla “Billie” Laure has a completely new identity. She’s settled in rural Colorado with her daughter, hoping for a quieter life. But the world has other plans.
With wildfires raging and birds dropping from the sky, Billie wonders if her cult leader father’s apocalyptic predictions are finally coming true. When an intruder murders her husband and kidnaps her daughter, Billie has no choice but to confront the secrets of her past. But Billie’s journey has other perils, too―namely, a police chief hot on her trail, determined to expose the dangers of the defunct doomsday cult.
To save her daughter, Billie will have to go back to where it all began―to the ruined compound in New Mexico where the real threat is the truth.
Scott will discuss his research techniques, writing style and methods, and his other award-winning works: the trilogy of award-winning novels featuring Sheriff Chris Cherry of the Big Bend with ties to El Paso and the stand- alone novel, Lost River, a blistering crime novel of the opioid epidemic set in Kentucky and published in 2020.
