A prominent newspaper columnist kills the man mostly likely to be the next Governor of Kentucky - and gets away with it. Ten years later, the death of his mentor brings him back to the scene of the crime. When Theodore O'Hara Clark arrives he finds he's inherited a fortune and is made responsible for a newspaper, racing, and farming empire he doesn't want and doesn't know how to run. Almost immediately he becomes embroiled in a fight with the new governor and is threatened with blackmail by a young graduate student who has found a document that can exposure him as the killer in the long ago murder. And he must at last face Allie -- the love he walked away from but has never forgotten. The action takes place mostly in Kentucky's fabled Bluegrass section and in Frankfort, the state's capitol city, which is in turmoil in the midst of policies put in place by the new governor that are crippling the city. The story moves at a riveting pace through San Francisco to the canyons of Manhattan to the mountains of southern Appalachia where snake-handling cults still thrive. What happens when Theo comes home is not what anyone expects - most particularly Theo. "The characters are richly drawn. The action runs at a riveting pace. What happened When THEO Came Home is a helluva read and a fine, fine story." - Ian Kellogg When THEO Came Home is the concluding novel in the THEO Trilogy. The other books in the series are: THEO's Story and THEO & The Mouthful of Ashes.
