Avenge Us All - Cable, Pamela King

. .

Résumé :
AVENGE US ALL the second book in the TELEVENGE TRILOGY Andie Oliver is a faithful woman-to God, her handsome husband Joe, and televangelist Reverend Calvin Artury, a Godfather in a Mafia of holy men. Raised to be submissive in the tradition of the Bible-belt South of the '70s, she becomes a prisoner of that tradition as a reluctant member of Artury's evangelical megachurch, the House of Praise. When Reverend Artury hires her husband on the ministry team, her dreams quickly unravel, and Andie's marriage falls apart. The charismatic Reverend conducts faith-healing crusades around the world, creating the most prominent religious TV audience, surpassing the likes of Oral Roberts and Billy Graham. Working limitless hours, Joe is sucked deeper into the ministry while Andie attempts to free him from the Reverend's control and far-reaching influence. But it is Mavis Dumass, Andie's best friend since birth, a sassy African-American woman and an aspiring recording star, who holds the secrets to Reverend Artury's carefully veiled debauchery. What happens to Mavis leaves Andie near mental collapse and struggling for freedom from the cult's grip. Andie remains unaware of the extreme danger their pastor wields until she witnesses the murder of a church member. Fearing for her life, Andie plummets from a dreadful existence to a horrific one as she uncovers Reverend Artury's long-hidden truths. Losing everything, she strikes back, threatening to expose the Reverend to the world. Reverend Artury reverts to the twisted cleansings of his childhood. He mentally declines as Andie hastily goes into hiding. Fighting for redemption for her family and herself, Andie confronts the very definition of sin and shakes the Christian world to its core. Evading ruthless adversaries who will go to any lengths to protect Reverend Artury, Andie battles the dark side of evangelism, forever changing a nation of evangelicals. With more twists and turns than the Blue Ridge Parkway, the TELEVENGE TRILOGY exposes chaos in the megachurch and embraces those who discover unconditional love and spiritual truth in a world of religious legalism and deception. Profoundly moving, it is a collection of the most disturbing novels of the decade. Not for the faint of heart, this emotionally rich trilogy creates four extraordinary characters that will haunt the reader long after finishing the book....
