Divine Intervention

From the Ireland of St. Brendan to the baking
deserts of Death Valley-- from the ancient rites of the Druata to the televangelists of modern times-- from the source of
the greatest of human evils comes the tale of a demon with the most terrifying
powers ever known--

A street bum finds all the water in his body turned
to wine-- on a hospital AIDS ward, a young man checked at 7:00pm is found dead
an hour later, his body appearing as if it had lain in the sun for three days --
a homeless woman accepts a gift of bread and fish from a stranger, only to find
it multiply within her, exploding her from within--

Reverend Carrillee Maitland can find no sense or
link between these bizarre deaths, and in an election year, there simply is no
street crime in the city. It takes the assistance of Nick Praetorius, a man
with a mysterious medallion and a centuries-old manuscript, to help Carrillee
discover that not everyones idea of divine intervention is the same. For some,
it means salvation; to others, it could mean a terrifying death by the most
ancient words of the western world.
