Preacher Stalls the Second Coming (Evan Wycliff #4)
The most controversial Preacher Evan Wycliff mystery yet!
A crazed scientist knocks on Evan’s door with a bizarre warning - the Deep State may be planning to fake the Second Coming of Christ with advanced virtual-reality technology. Meanwhile, a faith-healing evangelist is luring poor and homeless people to a religious retreat with promises of ample food, then exhorting them to prepare for the End Times by starving themselves to death. Evan can’t ignore these unbelievable stories when a young woman from his church disappears inside the cult leader’s farm.
Previous novels in the Evan Wycliff series have won 9 book awards, including Mystery Gold and Silver in the New York City Big Book Awards in the same year.
In this fictional story, Pastor Obadiah lures disadvantaged people to his End-Times Retreat Center with promises of food, then counsels them to fast, ultimately to starve. But no one has ever seen him harm anyone. Meanwhile, homeless people are disappearing from cities, and no one is complaining. Rev. Evan Wycliff thinks he knows the secret agenda behind the scheme – but how can he prove it and who can be held accountable?
