Precious Blood Book

In the heart of Kentucky's mining country, in a tiny town where alcohol was against the law and no one locked their doors, everyone knew Jerome Boggs was a bad seed. Even so, no one suspected how vicious he was...

A stone's throw from a church, in a neatly kept single-wide trailer, police found the body of a young man murdered execution style. In the bedroom they found Tim Cook's innocent 4-year-old son T.J. lying among his toys--with two fatal bullet wounds in his chest and tears still in his eyes...

Soon police were hunting down Jerome Boggs and unraveling a stunning story of depravity. Holed up in a cheap motel and stocked up on liquor and beer, Jerome had wed his 20-year-old wife to a diabolical plan for murder. Now the only question was: what punishment could possibly fit their crimes?
