Under the Devil's Belly : A Tale Retold
Our courts of law, though not perfect, usually carry justice to the extent it was intended. In the case of Tom Shackleford, however, there was a great miscarriage of justice.
A vindictive but beautiful woman, Helen Hilburn, whose mind was warped and twisted, caused the lives of Tom and Louise Shackleford and their families, to be scared forever. A district attorney whose lust for power and recognition forced him to take a case he should have dismissed. A district judge who’s lust for Helen Hilburn, caused him to misuse his power and toss the oath he swore to carry justice for all, to the wind.
The tentacles of the “blood suckers,” spread and touched the lives of many common people and left them shaken and never again, to believe in the judicial system.
The book hosts many people who literally sold their souls to the devil and you cannot read, “Under the Devil’s Belly,” without a shiver going down the spine. The book, with disturbing clairvoyance, reveals how easily, America’s precious freedoms are too often taken for granted and lost in the courts.
Tom Shackleford endured the pain of losing his freedom of free enterprise. Should such a thing happen in real life, America’s freedoms would not only be tested, but, evil infiltration would be at the door waiting to rape the populace with the lust of the devil himself.
The characters in the book are fictional and any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental. The law it is based on, is true.
