James Scott Bell

Pastor Ron Hamilton's 8,000-member church is thriving, and his book on pornography in the church has unexpectedly become a best seller, but all of his success ends abruptly when a young female porn star's body is discovered in a sleazy motel room and all of the murder evidence points to him. Original. 35,000 first printing.

I thought I liked James Scott Bell enough to give his books a pass without reading them a second time in this book purge process. Unfortunately I was wrong. This book will be added to the giveaway pile. 
It has potential but Bell does not develop it. Instead he turns it into a legal thriller (or tries to at least) that reeks of deus ex machina. Everything feels so contrived from the characters themselves (especially the villains) to every single plot device. 
Instead of being caught up in the climax I found myself almost laughing out loud at the ridiculousness. 
I do not recommend this book.
