Curtis W. Younker, Mitchell County Sheriff (1964-2012) said it best:  “Stauffer used a true story from rural Iowa in the late 1800s and created an historical novel that will keep you spell-bound until the end when a quiet village exploded with the ultimate evil.”

We are excited and privileged to be hosting this great event for Kathleen Stauffer.  “Thou Shalt Not” is full of suspense, mystery, terror and passion because on December 3, 1898, the serenity of the small community of David, Iowa was shattered by the sound of gunshots.
