Fantasy meets political thriller in this novel of prophecy and Cold War intrigue.
Los Angeles, 1968: Ever since Ed Terwilliger’s wife was murdered, his life has become a daily struggle against despair. When the old ceramic gnome in the garden starts talking to him, he fears that the last remnant of his sanity has finally slipped away.
But Ed is not crazy. The gnome is real, and it knows why Ed’s wife was killed. To find out its secret, Ed must first help it defeat its old enemy: a power-craving telepath whose doomsday cult is preparing to rise up and start a bloody revolution. As Ed comes closer to learning the identity of his wife’s killer, he finds himself at the heart of a deadly conspiracy that reaches all the way to Lyndon Johnson’s White House.
