He brought them to Blue Pigeon Lake, where handsome Johnny St. Croix ruled like a king in the world of the fast river and deep forest. Right from the start there was trouble, with Arnello butting big-city hoodlumism against the outdoor strength of Johnny. And in the middle were the women . . . Penny, Arnello's depraved wife; Vangie and Shielah, girls with shameful desires and the conscience of animals; Toni, Johnny's loyal girl-friend, soft, lovely, and trapped in the middle of a passion play of terror. Here is a novel of unrelenting violence with naked passions illuminated in THE LIGHT OF SIN!First paragraph(s): JOHNNY ST. CROIX LOOKING AT YOU Born, Bayer River, Wisconsin, 28-years-old, christened Jean Pierre St. Croix, the Jean after my paternal grandfather. My parents, both dead, killed in an automobile accident when I was ten, left me a unique heritage. Henri St. Croix was French; Mary Little Ears, my mother, was a full-blooded Menominee Indian. So you can see where that leaves my blood line. What good looks I have | got from my father. My stubborn streak, my mean disposition I inherited from my mother. At least that's what Uncle Jules, who brought me up, who tried to work some of the rebel wildness out of me, always said. Nightstand Book NB 1561 aSn Illustrator: Harold W. McCauley.
