About the Book

Somewhere in the heart of Central Missouri, mysterious music filters through night-darkened farmland. The murder of an Amish teenager launches a police investigation that leads to a great deal more than a simple homicide. Elvis is seen roaming the countryside. A young, drug-addled clairvoyant arrives in the area, confused about the power improvisational psychedelic music has over human consciousness. Police Sergeant Jill Simpson teams up with Philadelphia tabloid reporter Franklin Harris to tie all of these issues together. They will stumble into mysteries far more important than anything they could have imagined. What happened to all those rock 'n' roll gods who all seemed to die before their time back in the '60s and '70s? Was there something about the music of that era that we didn't understand? Is telepathy connected to that music ... and to those great musicians? And how much of this did the CIA actually understand? "Beyond the Will of God" is a murder mystery rolled up in the secret of music and then wrapped in questions about the power of the human mind. This is a thriller mixed with magical realism and speculative metaphysical fiction...totally off the literary grid. If you're ready to take one more trip ... or you're ready for your first one ... buy the book and see where you end up.
