The Disciples Ranch and its leader Jo Cerveaux hide many awful secrets. The discovery of a murdered baby on a country road plunges detective Ned Barber into a twisted case of racism, misogyny, kidnapping, conspiracy, and murder. It is a case the likes of which the small Oklahoma town of Woodward has never seen. To unravel it, Barber enlists the help of his police colleagues, businesswomen Kate Bradford, his daughter Hanna, and his sister Mae.
The Book of Jo is a mix of crime drama and historical fiction. It is the debut novel of author R. Steven Jones.
