The Healer [Mass Market Paperback]

A.J. Russo (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 2002

Father Alex Forker, an investigator sent to the U.S. by the Vatican, is drawn into a world of mystery and intrigue when he explores the phenomenon called "Kari," a seemingly normal woman who, at 7:17 every Thursday evening, is transformed into the Virgin Mary. Couple this spectacle with a little girl in Baltimore who appears to have "healing powers," and a rash of unexplainable cancerous carcinomas that plague a group of scientists who once worked on a "secret" project in Iraq; and you have a captivating read that not only keeps the reader turning pages, but marveling at the intricate detail and ever-changing plot twists. "The Healer" explores not only the reader’s religious beliefs, with appearances by both Mary, the Mother of God, and the Anti-Christ, but also the world of science—where anything that can go wrong often does.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"...takes seemingly disparate pieces of science, theology, faith, murder, greed, duplicity and politics and fits them into a seemless whole..." -- Patricia Lucas White, Scribes World
