Shadow of the Piper — L.P. Hoffman

When a disturbed teenager arrives at the Pittsburgh Rescue Mission, Cali turns things upside down by claiming to know ''secrets'' about a young evangelist's shadowy past. The deranged girl lures Jesse Berry across the country only to slip away after they reach their destination. Hamlin, Montana, is not the quaint mining town it appears to be. Something sinister moves below the surface--the youth are at risk--and someone there wants Jesse dead.
