BELIEFS CAN BE MURDER is best-selling non-fiction author Dudley Lynch's debut novel in the Sheriff Luke McWhorter mystery series. Its main character is an Ivy-League divinity school graduate who wears the lawman's star instead of the clergyman's cloth. When four Bible professors are murdered in his isolated "West of Fort Worth" town--the one with three church colleges--is he going to be able to stop the killing, the chaos, the evil? It takes all his ample thinking skills to contend successfully with West Texas's big-time sinners.
