Water turns to blood. Flies and gnats attack the innocent. Marc and Gillian Thayer's vacation resort becomes a grisly murder scene--a killer is using the ten plagues of Egypt as his playbook for revenge. When their friend turns up dead, Marc and Gillian enlist the help of a retired homicide detective to investigate the bizarre plagues. Meanwhile, more trouble heads their way. A stranger is after the Thayers' newly adopted baby, and a new Bible translation team based at the resort draws fire from angry protesters when they propose to merge the Bible with the Qur'an. As the stakes increase with each successive plague, the Thayers must make sense of their story's intersection with those of the others at the resort--and of their own dark pasts. In this "chilling tale that keeps readers turning pages and pondering its truths" (C. J. Darlington), the Thayers must unravel the truth. But will they uncover the killer's bitter agenda before the tenth plague--the death of the firstborn son? Praise for The Tenth Plague: "Suspense of biblical proportions!

Here's a novel that will keep you wondering what can possibly go wrong next!" --Rick Barry, author of Gunner's Run "An almost-forgotten mine disaster, a misguided conference on Bible translation, a twisted take on the book of Revelation, a botched ATF-FBI operation, a gifted autistic child--Adam Blumer has woven these strands and more into a page-turning tapestry of a mystery.
