In the small town of Edenvale, where ancient feuds run as deep as the soil itself, a murder trial is about to shake the foundations of both law and faith.

State v. Adams isn't just another criminal proceeding, it's a modern retelling of humanity's first murder. When Cain Adams stands accused of killing his brother Abel over disputed farmland, the case appears straightforward. But nothing in Edenvale is ever simple. 

 As brilliant defense attorney Sarah Goldstein digs deeper, she uncovers a century-old covenant broken during a devastating drought, a shadowy Shepherd's Guild manipulating religious visions for profit, and a pattern of violence that has haunted the north fields for generations. The prosecution has physical evidence and a three-hundred-yard trail of blood through a wheat field. The defense has only questions: Can divine rejection justify human violence? What drives one brother to turn against another? And can ancient wrongs be set right in a modern court of law?

With a town divided between farmers and shepherds, a widow seeking justice, and a defendant haunted by visions of the brother he's accused of killing, "The Trial of Cain" weaves biblical drama into a compelling legal thriller that will keep readers guessing until the final verdict
