The Bishops' Sacrifice

The 16-year-old girl disappeared after school on an October afternoon. The police have exhausted all leads. It’s been weeks, but her mother, Barbara, will not stop searching for Melissa. Her husband, Mark, has given up…and started drinking. Her younger daughter Rachel feels neglected. The police think she is a nuisance. Her job is in jeopardy. But even more mysterious things begin happening around Barbara. The shadows that have no source…a dark form glimpsed beneath Melissa’s bed...the ravens that have congregated on the lawn.

These are just a few exploits of Sterling, the mysterious psychic. One learns of his aptitudes and the struggles he faced throughout his life. The ability to see into the spiritual realm is a gift he both appreciated and despised because it often brought him closer to the living and the dead and forced him to experience the last moments of the innocents whose lives had been cut short.
