Paul Edwards will address three aspects of Mormonism that attracted him to consider it as the basis for a tale of adventure and mayhem in his novel, The Angel Acronym (forthcoming, Signature Books). Lavina Fielding Anderson will present an overview of Mormon participation in crime fiction, identify ways in which Mormon elements lend themselves readily to this genre, and position Edwards’s novel within that context.
