How Like An Angel

BLESSED ARE THE LIVING

Martha O'Gorman's husband had walked out the door one rainy night five years ago and never come back. The police verdict was accidental death - but Patrick O'Gorman's body was never found.

Now a stranger had come to town asking questions about Patrick's disappearance. He told Martha that Sister Blessing of the True Believers - a strange, fanatical religious community in the California mountains - had hired him to find Patrick. Martha resented the detective's questions and could see no connection between Sister Blessing and her missing husband. But there was a connection, and Martha would soon be forced to see it as she intered a dark, forbidding world of deception, horror, and death.
