The Holograph

Investigating a will contest should not involve the devil, demons and palpable evil. But this one does. Old Scratch and his legions circle their wagons to keep her secret. Her handwritten will left everything to people she hardly knew at all. That symptom of an unsound mind leaves a trail of obscene, bizarre and terrifying supernatural deadends, when the trial lawyer Harbin pursues an answer. "What in the hell was wrong with this woman?" When the star witness in the will contest set in Dallas' probate court gets listed "missing," Harbin's order of proof seems dead in the water. Sensations metamorphose - witnesses, even Harbin, smell visuals, hear odors, and see sounds. The serial killer profiler and the preacher lay it out for Harbin, but he does not scare in time to avoid psychological burning far too hot for most heat shields. Is a fee worth three months in an asylum? Ask Harbin, if you can understand his ramblings. The devil almost convinces us, again, that he does not exist.
