Seven Wives #2
The murder of Matthew Dunn — husband, father, and leader — has devastated the Dunn family. Or so they’d like outsiders to believe. As the detectives unravel the case before them by interrogating Matthew’s seven wives, they discover he was not the saint he painted himself to be. Although some of the widows mourn the loss, the Dunns may be safer free from the heavy hand with which Matthew ruled.
But his presence lingers, and the detectives sense the FLDS leader has more secrets hiding behind every door.
