NEW YORK—April 14, 2020—Morgan James’ new release, The Jealous Son, the newest novel by Michele Chynoweth, is a modern-day murder mystery based on the story of Cain and Abel that shows what happens when envy goes too far. “A bold, tragic and emotionally exploratory drama” (Kirkus Reviews), the novel touches on current issues such as the opioid crisis, suicide and sanctuary cities. Michele Chynoweth is a best-selling author of several contemporary suspense novels that re-imagine Bible stories including The Faithful One, The Peace Maker, and The Runaway Prophet.

In The Jealous Son, Chynoweth introduces a family fighting against difficult circumstances. The parents of the two central characters, Cameron and Austin, are working to build a new life for their sons after being forced out of their community and into a new, foreign environment. Initially the boys grow up with little issues; however, as they shift into adulthood, tensions rise when Cameron’s competitive spirit causes him to compare his lot in life to that of his brother. Austin appears to get everything Cameron wants – money, fame, and love – until Cameron decides to even the scales and get revenge.

Michele Chynoweth believes the Old Testament stories are often difficult to read and comprehend, so she illustrates that re-imagining them in contemporary times with edgy fiction that’s fast-paced and entertaining can help men and women appreciate them in a new way. Chynoweth understands the power and importance of sharing God’s message with the world and hopes that her stories will bring people back to the Bible itself.
