:: SYNOPSIS ::

The Devil Does Most of the Talking, by Victoria White Berger, is about the moral dilemmas—public and private—that women can find themselves in through intimacy with men. Fortuna doesn’t have connections in high places…until she marries Amos. She’s intent on raising her daughter, and helping kids, but can’t explain her way out of a murder she had nothing to do with. Amos is at the center of a gang of Kentucky political, bureaucratic cronies—some 60’s druggies, some power-hungry aspirants to higher office.

An emotionally disturbed teenager is brutally murdered at the private
Protestant children’s home Fortuna administrates. An investigation reveals
similar killings across the state, within the state-run social services system.
Some of Amos’s friends (and Amos?) in the Kentucky bureaucracy are
implicated, though not directly—at first. One of them is certainly a killer.
