The Martyrdom of Washington Booth

Virgilia’s plan to impress a local militia hero is thrown into jeopardy when the lethal virus they’ve arranged to purchase from a mysterious African nationalist is accidentally unleashed… on her own father. As she struggles to find a way out of her dilemma she is forced to ask herself: who hears the voice of God? And who is qualified to decipher it?
