Everything is perfect. Until a young woman’s body is discovered in a seedy motel room. The woman is a porn star. And all the evidence in the murder points to one man: Ron. With the noose tightening around her husband’s neck, Dallas Hamilton faces a choice: believe the seemingly irrefutable facts—or the voice of her heart. The press has already reached its verdict, and the public echoes it. But Dallas is determined to do whatever it takes to find the truth. And then a dark secret from Dallas’s past threatens to take them all down. As the clock ticks toward Ron’s conviction and imprisonment, and an underworld of evil encircles her, Dallas must gather all her trust in God to discover what really happened in that motel room . . . even if it means losing faith in her husband forever.

Book Author: James Scott Bell
What do you like about this book:
"The woman who loved me with a solid, dependable love came to see me today. And I could hardly look at her."
Mega-church pastor Ron Hamilton's star has tumbled into an unfathomable abyss following his arrest for the murder of a young porn star, Melinda Perry. Incredibly ironic, since Ron and his wife Dallas are known through-out the Los Angeles area for fighting hard against the multi-million dollar industry. The evidence against Ron is overwhelming, but Dallas Hamilton is determined to find the truth. Admitting that her husband made an error in judgment, she cannot bring herself to believe that he is a murderer, insisting instead that someone set Ron up.
As Ron's future grows dim , the dark tentacles of evil grow stronger, threatening to strangle the very life out of Dallas and her grown son, Jared. This legal thriller seems to always have a surprise or two around every bend, making "Presumed Guilty" a very satisfying read.
