The Widow's Paramour is more than an erotic thriller of murder and sexual indiscretion. It is also a look in fiction form at produce farm owners, migrant workers and the conditions of life in the strawberry and tomato fields of south New Jersey in the summer of nineteen sixty-two. It looks at how a church building could become the scene of murder and debauchery. It focuses on the fallibility of ministers and challenges long held images on how they behave. It recognizes clergy vulnerability as victims of crime and the dangers they accept in serving a congregation. There is, too, the likelihood readers will be surprised, informed and entertained by this story that ends in perhaps a most unique and controversial way. Here the reader comes to see, if not the good judgment of the paramour, than certainly the heart of the widow's love.
Blood and Pardon is a work of fiction. The city of Crossriver, Pennsylvania is the creation of the author. Except for references to real persons of historical significance, any resemblance to names of actual persons living or dead is purely coincidental.
Blood and Pardon is the first of two sequels to A.C. Heldman's first novel, The Widow's Paramour
