Power in the Blood is the story of Tim Rathbone, a failed young minister who returns home to Dayton Crossing hoping to find renewal working with his former pastor, Stan Richmond, in the Dayton Crossing Christian Tabernacle, the CT. When he finds the people he loves most dead, a despondent Tim finds he has only two people to depend on: Freddi, who knows too well the dark side of Dayton Crossing, and her mobster father Jimmy. As he learns about the corruption rampant in his home town and the church he has revered all his life, Tim also arrives at the truth about his father's suicide, twenty years before.
