Synopsis: With the nation&’s eye on Black River Falls, McCain chases a snake handler&’s killerFundamentalist preacher John Muldaur isn&’t afraid of snakes—he uses them every week in his services—but he&’s convinced that the Pope is trying to kill him. Iowa lawyer Sam McCain, the poorest attorney in a thriving town, listens patiently to the self-declared reverend&’s outlandish theories about being targeted by a papal hit squad, and agrees to investigate the matter simply to get Muldaur out of his office. But that night at a wild religious service, McCain sees Muldaur proven right. The holy man is killed by poison—not from one of his rattlesnakes, but from a Pepsi bottle laced with strychnine.On the campaign trail for president, Vice President Nixon is on his way to town to make a speech, and McCain is asked to find Muldaur&’s killer before the national media arrives. What he finds is a conspiracy just as improbable as the Catholic hit men—but far more deadly.
