Crime and Thrillers
“They buried the truth for generations. Now it’s rising with a vengeance.”
On International Festival of the Earth Day, a massive climate change protest erupts at the Lincoln Memorial. Amid the chants and banners, Cherokee shaman Wohali Lightfoot and his white stallion are assassinated in broad daylight.
FBI agents John Green and Phoenix Schultz are on duty. As chaos unfolds, Green is dispatched to Oklahoma to investigate Wohali’s roots, aided by a Professor of Native American culture.. Meanwhile, Schultz anchors the DC investigation, uncovering chilling evidence in the Lincoln Memorial’s undercroft—a fortified door breached from within. Could a federal insider be aiding a climate terrorist conspiracy?
In Oklahoma, Green learns Wohali’s family has vanished into the Smoky Mountains. The night he arrives, a terrorist attack on a remote retreat forces him into immediate action. As he interviews Wohali’s father, Isaac, Green confronts a haunting story of childhood survival from the global “Stolen Generations”—a history Isaac attributes to a corrupt ideological force he calls the “Corleone Christ.”
As the investigation widens, alliances form between federal agents and state police to expose a conspiracy that could shake the nation.
In this pulse-pounding thriller, truth, trauma, and justice collide on the fault lines of culture, faith, and power.
For readers of Indigenous thrillers, climate crime fiction, Christian suspense, and political conspiracy novels.

Here's what readers have to say about this book....
I have just finished reading The Corleone Christ after it was lent to me by a friend. This was a fascinating read about the struggles of Indigenous people not just in America but around the world. It has obviously been brilliantly researched and the references given are a very helpful source to learn more about many aspects of human history. The whole story is both topical and relevant in our current times. The FBI investigation into the terrorist crimes was absolutely gripping, a real page turner, it has been superbly set for a second book and then hopefully the third. I am now going to purchase my own copy as it's a 'must have' in any collection and hopefully the author G J Mann will complete this trilogy. Best book I have read for sometime and deserves a 5 star rating.
This powerful novel frames what is a deeply uncomfortable and challenging subject for many, in an exciting, tangible and gripping format. It’s an important read for anyone concerned about the massive injustices of humanity and our earth - and an important read for anyone who needs a nudge to remember these injustices. Highly recommend this book, and hope there’ll be another.
