John Harrison is the mayor of River City; his life revolves around John Harrison, and John Harrison alone. Driven by money and power, John is involved in government corruption, drug trafficking and an unquenched desire to become Governor, no matter the cost. He is a deadly man, one to be feared, with connections that span across the state, and resources to uncover anyone or anything he is looking for.
Marie is an abused wife; beaten physically, emotionally and spiritually, her life also revolves around her husband, John Harrison.
Lisa, their only child is now 16, the victim of incest at the hands of her father, she makes the decision to run, a decision that could well cost her her life. No one crosses John Harrison and wins, no one; and so the drama begins.

If I could place neon lights around this book to bring your attention to it, I would. Glued to the pages, I completed the read in one night. Deadly Behavior is a story that surely is played over and over in many towns across our nation. Perhaps not in the power that our main character had, but in the behavior that he portrayed.
This work shows how the actions of someone in our past influence our behavior in life. Deep seeded memories of their actions contribute to the moral fiber of our own existence, and in turn touch yet another innocent generation. It shows the dark side of our human nature in our thirst for money, power and control; and it shows goodness in some to risk their lives to help another.

I absolutely loved the way the author brings God and His power of forgiveness into the story. She weaves this so carefully into the storyline that it is almost breathtaking.
If you are looking for a story that is packed full of the dark hideous side of man, yet glows with the intervention of a loving Creator, this book is for you.
The characters are so well defined that you truly feel you personally know each one, and the ending will jar even the hardest of heart. A book that gives a face to the faceless victims of abuse and a scream that you will hear for a long time after the read.
I cannot recommend this book high enough. It is an absolute must read;truly a masterpiece.
