Dominion by Randy Alcorn

A shocking murder drags black newspaper columnist Clarence Abernathy into the disorienting world of inner-city gangs and racial conflict. In a desperate hunt for answers to the violence (and to his own struggles with race and faith), Clarence forges an unlikely partnership with redneck detective Ollie Chandler. Despite their differences, Clarence and Ollie soon find themselves sharing the same mission: victory over the forces of darkness vying for dominion. 

Filled with insight -and with characters so real you’ll never forget them - Dominion is a dramatic story of spiritual searching, racial reconciliation, and hope. 

I don’t know when I have read a novel that affected me so profoundly. Randy Alcorn has combined a superb mystery/detective story with a lesson in racial relations in America, gang dynamics and symbols, Christian values, and spiritual warfare. -Dave Kirby, Troy (Alabama) Broadcasting Corporation 

Even better than its predecessor…Alcorn’s writing remains top-notch. -Sean Taylor, CBA Marketplace
