Hollis Templeton would have been the first to admit that inactivity drove her nuts, so she considered it a cosmic joke that fate had placed her in the small town of Grace and in the Gray family home where she was virtually a prisoner.

She couldn’t even go into town.

“You broadcast,” Bishop told her frankly. “Especially since you began to see auras. We can’t take the chance that Samuel or his people might see or sense you. It’s enough of a risk just to have you in the house with Tessa when church members visit her.”

“I know, I know. I wouldn’t even be here if Ellen Hodges hadn’t told me I needed to be. I just wish she’d told me why I needed to be here.”

“You’ll find out eventually. But until you have some sense of why, you have to keep a low profile.”

“I don’t have to like it.”

“No, I wouldn’t expect you to. But sit tight for the time being.”

Hiding her abilities had never been an issue until recently, and since they were still evolving—seeing auras was a very new aspect—she had spent her time learning to cope with what was rather than worry about shielding it from other psychics.

She wished now that she had taken a few lessons in developing her personal shield and had in fact been practicing using the few basic instructions Bishop and others on the team had offered. But she was a long way yet from being able to hide her abilities.

In the meantime, since doing something was better than pacing the floor in worry about whatever Tessa might be doing inside the church Compound, Hollis had abandoned the smaller kitchen space to turn the big table in the formal dining room into her command center. Her laptop was set up there, and files, notepads, and maps vied for the remainder of the polished mahogany surface.

There was a very large, very grand book-lined study on the other side of the sprawling house, but Hollis, like Tessa, was uncomfortably aware of being very much an outsider in someone else’s home, and she preferred to work in the brighter and less personal dining room.

Not that there was a lot of work to do. She had gone over everything so many times that she felt like it was all branded in her mind, and staring at the bits and pieces of information was a bit like staring at blank jigsaw pieces: impossible to know how everything really fit together.

If it fit together.

Despite Bishop’s certainty, Hollis was having a difficult time accepting that the Reverend Adam Deacon Samuel really had been the mastermind—literally—behind one of the most vicious, inhuman serial killers ever to rampage across American soil. It didn’t seem possible, at least in a sane world, for an avowed man of God to deliberately unchain an evil, ravenous beast and set it loose to maim and kill innocents.

Even worse, to personally hunt for and virtually feed that monster its victims, one by one.

How could any man, after doing
