THE SHROUD OF TORRINGTON

About the Book

David Paul enjoys his job as a program instructor for developmentally challenged adults. He gets along great with his coworkers, and he thrives on the challenge each day brings. But it's the special relationship with an elderly resident named Huey that David treasures most. After a new group home manager, Brad Ramsey, takes charge of Huey's residence, David begins to suspect the charismatic Brad is not all that he seems.

Before long, David suspects that Brad is ritualistically torturing Huey. But how will he prove it? Frustrated with his inability to catch Brad in the act, David is further shocked when Huey mysteriously disappears. Both the police and David are baffled over the strange image left behind on Huey's bed linens. It bears a marked resemblance to the famous Shroud of Turin.

Why was this modern duplicate to the Shroud of Turin created? As David digs deeper into the mystery, his journey takes him through danger and unrequited love, ultimately culminating in a battle between good and evil.
