Plot Summary of Knights of Harvest
"UFO aliens, cattle mutilations and murder intertwine in this bizarre mystery that pits a small town cop and an infamous defense attorney against a wicked government conspiracy. A macabre triple murder on a remote farm shakes a small town when hired hand, Seth Cameron, makes the startling claim that his employer and family were murdered by inhabitants of a UFO. Most think Cameron snapped and killed the family himself, but Officer Ken Jackson has found evidence that suggests Cameron just might be telling the truth. The problem is, a government agency has commandeered the investigation and covered up the evidence, leaving Jackson in great danger if he chooses to divulge what he knows. Jackson enlists the help of renowned defense attorney, Marcus Payne, a burned-out litigator on the brink of self-destruction over the murder of his wife by vengeful mobsters. Together, they embark on a perilous journey to the truth. In the end, they may regret they did . . ."
Robert Henley, Resident Scholar

"A simple case of murder, or is it? A sharecropper is accused of butchering a family on a remote farm, but he claims the murders were committed by aliens that landed in a UFO. Knights of Harvest explores the strange phenomena of cattle mutilations and UFOs, but takes it a step further when it appears that the aliens are interested in more than taking samples from livestock. Enter Marcus Payne, a washed-up criminal attorney who uncovers a bizarre government plot to cover the truth. It's a frightening story that will make you turn pages, culminating in a wild twist at the end."
Edward James, Resident Scholar
