Divine Intervention

From the Ireland of St. Brendan to the bakingdeserts of Death Valley-- from the ancient rites of the Druata to the televangelists of modern times-- from the source ofthe greatest of human evils comes the tale of a demon with the most terrifyingpowers ever known--A street bum finds all the water in his body turnedto wine-- on a hospital AIDS ward, a young man checked at 7:00pm is found deadan 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 findit multiply within her, exploding her from within--Reverend Carrillee Maitland can find no sense orlink between these bizarre deaths, and in an election year, there simply is nostreet crime in the city. It takes the assistance of Nick Praetorius, a manwith a mysterious medallion and a centuries-old manuscript, to help Carrilleediscover that not everyone's idea of divine intervention is the same. For some,it means salvation; to others, it could mean a terrifying death by the mostancient words of the western world.
