Montel and Oprah's blood-quickening guests were two of many who had utilized Bishop Houston's church as an "emergency room." One had come soon enough to be saved, the other had not. In fact Oprah's guest died soon after she interviewed him, while Montel's guest was still very much alive and in contact with the Bishop on a regular basis. For more than a decade, he had interceded for her with prayers, wise counsel, and practical assistance. It was a miracle she had survived the ominous death threat she lived under as a result of testifying against a violent, militaristic drug lord and his dangerous Jamaican Posse. After she exited the witness protection program, there recently arose the possibility of release for those she sent to prison.

In the Bishop's Shadow

Vice girl, social pariah, the victim who "asks for it"-these are some of the stereotypes about prostitutes. Rape, beatings, and abuse are often seen as inevitable, almost justified, hazards of "the lifestyle." The murder of at least six prostitutes in Glasgow over the past nine years has been met with a resounding silence. Their deaths are not deemed worthy of major news coverage. Only when "ordinary" women are attacked does such violence become noteworthy.

When a young woman is found murdered in a public park, it is up to RPD detective Lt. Tom Lackey to locate her killer. With the help of his longtime girlfriend and professional photographer, Kathy Spencer, Lackey unravels a mystery laden with psychosis and unexpected revelations. While Tom is busy following the multiple clues pouring in from different directions, Kathy gets to work to prove her own theory: The last image viewed by the dying person can be lifted from the eyes of the victim to identify the murderer. Using her background in photography and her passion for iridology, Kathy enlists the help of Dr. Greer, a snow-haired medical examiner who allows her to take shots of Tracey Newman&rsquo;s eyes. Her findings are puzzling, but they are supported by Alexis Howard, the dead girl&rsquo;s ten-year-old half sister who volunteers information she claims was delivered to her by her imaginary friend Lily. With multiple suspects floating up to the surface and skeletons yanked out of unlikely closets, Tom must rely on his methodical expertise and on Kathy&rsquo;s insight to find the killer before tragedy strikes again.

When she is offered the opportunity to exhibit her artwork in a prestigious gallery in London, Natalie Sanders can't believe her luck. As she prepares for her trip, she is unaware that her movements are being followed by a mysterious man, intent on finding Natalie's connection to an ancient rosary with a mystical past. When events around her start to spin out of control, with lives in mortal danger, Natalie is thrown on an emotional roller coaster. It is only when she finally arrives in London, and she encounters Melody Bennet, a woman whose life seemingly parallels her own, that Natalie begins to understand a greater plan is unfolding. As danger escalates, Natalie and Melody must come together to fight unknown forces unraveling against them, and fulfill their tasks as keepers of the sacred prophecy.
