Unexpected Guest — H.H. Fowler

Bishop Gregory Beaufort has disappeared without a trace and for three years, every effort to find him seems to only result in one dead end after another. Some members of Gregory's family are starting to think that he is dead until one of his daughters briefly glimpses him in the back seat of a late-model Cadillac. It kicks off a twenty-one-day cat and mouse race against time between the police and Gregory's captors.
Meanwhile, a dashing beau from the church Gregory once led, approaches Gregory's wife, Dana, and eventually reveals his love for her. When even the police appear to believe Gregory might never be found, her hope wanes and Dana is vulnerable and unsuspecting of the beau's true intentions, which are furtively linked to the infamous House of gods.
Dana and the rest of the Beauforts remain a constant target for a secret society that will stop at nothing to ensure every member of that family is six feet beneath the soil.
