In February of 2001, serial killer Eldon Andrew Porter set about creating a modern day version of the 15th century inquisition and Witch trials. Following the tenets of the Malleus Maleficarum and his own insane interpretation of the Holy Bible, he tortured and subsequently murdered several innocent people.
During a showdown on the old Chain of Rocks Bridge, he narrowly escaped apprehension by the Greater St. Louis Major Case Squad.
In the process, his left arm was severely crippled by a gunshot fired at close range.
A gunshot fired by a man he was trying to kill.

Rowan Gant.
In December of the same year, Eldon Porter's fingerprints were found at the scene of a horrific murder in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, just south of St. Louis. An eyewitness who later spotted the victim's stolen vehicle reported that it was headed north...

Another great mystery from Sellars,
By Elizabeth Donald "CultureGeek" (Edwardsville, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Law of Three: A Rowan Gant Investigation (Paperback)
I was in the middle of one of Patricia Cornwall's Kay Scarpetta mysteries when I picked up "Never Burn a Witch," the second book in the Rowan Gant series. After only a few pages, I put Cornwall aside until I finished it - and didn't go back to it until I'd finished "Perfect Trust" and "The Law of Three."With each book, the stakes grow higher for Rowan Gant. There is a real sense of place in the St. Louis setting. The positive portrayal of pagan religion makes it a fascinating read, but Sellars never lets the religious aspect overshadow the mystery. Particularly in this book, Gant's antagonists are not only the killers, but prejudice against his religion - a prejudice that is all too real. I cannot recommend the Rowan Gant series highly enough. After "The Law of Three," I can't wait for the next book.

A Great Scary Read,
By Tish Owen (Nashville, Tn. United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Law of Three: A Rowan Gant Investigation (Paperback)
I have just finished this book and really loved it! Once again, M.R. Sellars has scared me silly. I think the thing that makes the Rowan Gant series so good a read is that unlike some books that have fantastical bad guys, trolls, and wizards (oh my) he gives us rather ordinary folks and completely plausiable bad guys. There really are crazy fanatics in the world, we all know it. Sellars just shows us what they are capable of doing. Read it with the lights on!

This review is from: The Law of Three: A Rowan Gant Investigation (Paperback)
Mr. Sellars, yet again produced another masterpiece of writing. I am torn to say this is his best so far because I have felt each of his books was the best. Yet he only gets better.My one and only hint -- don't plan on doing anything for the weekend or time you sit down to read this book -- you will not want to stop! Enjoy!
