A Terrible Secret Hides in the Bulrushes
Amish bishop Henry Lapp eagerly awaits the annual arrival of
20,000 sandhill cranes to the San Luis Valley of Colorado. But his
visit to the Monte Vista National Wildlife Refuge reveals more than
just a miracle of God's creation. Hidden among the bulrushes and
cattails is the deceased body of a young woman.
As the local authorities attempt to unravel the mystery, Henry
feels God's calling to use his extraordinary talent to aid in the
investigation. His ability to draw from memory in photographic
detail could help solve this puzzling case.
Henry's closest friend, Emma Fisher, has always urged him to
embrace his gift. As their relationship deepens, Henry realizes his
involvement could put him and those he loves in the direct path of
a killer, one who is willing to do anything to cover up a brutal
crime, including framing the bishop.
When the Bishop Needs an Alibi is a compelling story of
faith, friendship, and finding courage only God can provide.
