Pious

Carpious Mightson is not whom he appears to be, wearing the guise of a friendly, God-fearing, hardworking and loving man. Little do his neighbors, co-workers, and girlfriend know that he harbors a disturbing secret that contradicts this facade. That secret is threatened to be unearthed when Ian Kaplan, a registered sex-offender, moves into the neighborhood.

While Carpious is struggling to maintain his manufactured life, someone is brutally murdered in his neighborhood and his troubled ex-wife resurfaces to expose him. Will his past transgressions be exhumed all the while he’s wrestling to sustain his pious reputation?

Find out in the debut, acclaimed novel by Kenn Bivins and see why Pious has been hailed “a caress and a punch.”
