Will a mysterious cure heal . . . or kill?
As a physician in the ER of a rural South Carolina hospital, Dr Rhea Lynch is a dedicated healer, a woman of science and, to some degree, a sceptic. But her most fundamental beliefs are put to the test with the arrival of a travelling faith healer, whose "cures" produce some baffling mysteries: a young quadriplegic woman can suddenly move her arms. A chronic pain sufferer begins to dance again.
Events go from bizarre to deadly with the arrival of a gravely injured but violent young woman determined to practise a dark, deadly magic. As the pieces of this puzzle begin to fall into place, Rhea will find her beliefs, her skill and her understanding tested in unfathomable ways as she enters a realm where science and strange faith collide . . .
