Miracle Man — Terry Bisson

Losing Faith

Young Samuel has the gift of healing. With just a touch of his hand, the crippled walk, the blind see, and even the most fatal of cancers are miraculously cured. But when one of his followers suddenly collapses and dies in the pulpit, Samuel is under suspicion of murder. FBI Special Agents Mulder and Scully are on the scene, hoping to see one of Samuel's miracles firsthand, when they witness yet another murder. Is this just a lethal publicity stunt? Or can the small-town spiritual healer's touch actually bring death? Mulder and Scully need to see the light--before Samuel makes any new converts.
