One Man's Search for Good in a Rising Tide of Evil
Pilotville Louisiana in 1927 is the setting for this new and compelling account by Athol Dickson. An isolated outpost on the Mississippi, Pilotville is a stilt village bound by swampland and accessible only by boat - an island of tolerance in a sea of racism. It is a place where folks seem to live together in peace, ironically separated only by their places of worship. But foreboding lurks beneath the surface of brotherly love; an undercurrent of the darker side of human nature, of crimes committed under the very noses of the good people of Pilotville.
Enter the Reverend Hale Poser, stranger and man of God, humble and full of miracles, a man on a search for his past. He takes a job as a janitor at the local Negro infirmary, but before long the residents of Pilotville begin to notice something different about this newcomer, whom miracles seem to follow around. Hale has a mysterious encounter with baby Hannah Lamont, a newborn saved by the hand of God only to disappear at the hands of man. He joins the search for the missing child, only to discover that she is not the first to be taken. Before long, the lives of hundreds are in danger.
Buried deep in the swampland lies an evil secluded from the outside world for generations. With the arrival of Hale Poser, miracle man, it slumbers no more. As the river rises, this evil will rise with the flood, and only a miracle can stop it.
Hale Poser struggles between pride and faith, belief and doubt, and the need for the grace and mercy of the God of all men, regardless of colour. Readers will find the setting deeply evocative, the story subtle yet captivating, the characters multi-layered and compelling in their realism. Without realising it, they will find themselves irresistibly drawn in: witnesses to the struggles of one man in his search for God in a world of terrible evil, a search that continually reveals the mystery of the Cross.
