King of Heaven - Burt Hirschfeld

King of heaven is the county seat of tokeneke on the alabana/florida border. Since the gault family drove out the injuns a few generations back, they have ruled it with a rod of iron. Strong liquor and dancing are banned and illicit sex is frowned upon, but all three are available to most people, the gault family included, if they know where to look. In a word,it is a typical steamy florida town where men and women are publicly devoted to the lord,but privately enslaved by the desires of their bodies. The gault family consists of papa james, who dwells on his past sexual prowess, his son nolan, who can't wait to step into his father's shoes, and wesley, nolan's 25 year old playboy son. Financed by the gaults, reverend dorr seely embarks on the tenth crusade and makes a beautiful drama coach, kate fellows, the scapegoat in a drive for decency. While kate is being victimised by the town, arapist attacks a young coloured schoolteacher. Later he attacks two other women >>> UK YES
