Rivals of the Chain - Paperback

An Invisible War of Love Against Evil.

Jane Smith is a rookie investigator who was interrupted by mental trauma of an accident in her past. When her boyfriend sets up a plan to protect her, it proves to be a scandalous secret. She declines until a recent case catches her interest with a legend from the haunted mansion on Krane Plantation.

The mystery evolves from the brutal killing of a little girl and keeps Jane attached when an ancient supernatural element is introduced. Both witnesses claim that the murderer is an evil spirit only known to them as "the creature" who works in a chain reaction and wants to annihilate their small community. Neither detectives see much credibility in their statements until subsequent deaths creating a domino effect become too much for Jane to ignore.

She confides in Mike Tallis, her church pastor and trusted friend, who agrees to be an advocate for the first surviving connection, Spectre Clyve, a medium fighting a horrible curse. Searching for the creature's origin leads to many surprising truths including dark secrets of Jane's own family and a special hidden gift shining through her little cousin Mary-Ellen.
