Book excerpt: Sinners, saints and Satan...a perfect mix for mischief and murder! Elliot Buchanan, Pastor of St. Barnabas Church, is on his own for the summer. His wife and daughter are on vacation. Soon after they leave, a murder occurs in a hospital parking lot. It's not his business, and he thinks little of it until a friend is arrested for a seemingly unrelated crime, and four more follow in quick succession. Elliot wonders if something more sinister is taking place in the world of spiritual evil. When Detective Breckenridge calls to meet, they collaborate and find a connection that leaves the community stunned and pushes Elliot into a brush with death.
