With A Death in Wichita (firstly published as The Wichita Divide) New York Times bestselling writer Stephen Singular offers an in-depth account of the life and death of a controversial doctor, the debate that sparked his assassination, and the place where two Americas collide

On May 31, 2009, Scott Roeder walked into a Wichita church, drew a pistol, and shot Dr. George Tiller at point blank range. Tiller, who was once the most public practitioner of late-term abortions in The us, had been a lightning rod for controversy, frequently referred to in the conservative media as “Tiller, the Baby Killer.”

Tiller’s death was once a pivotal, public murder in a war that has been raging for decades. It is a war of violently opposing ideologies, encompassing abortion, but also questions of privacy, sexuality, and religion. It’s being fought in our nation’s courtrooms, school and churches, on tv sets, at our dinner tables, and in our bedrooms. And an increasing number of, the key battlegrounds are in Kansas, once home to Brown vs. Board of Education and one of the bloodiest conflicts of the Civil War.
This is a gripping take a look at a cold-blooded terrorist action, two men representing opposite ideological extremes, and the region where those violent forces clash.
