This Present Darkness

An unseen spiritual battle threatens a small town and reaches far beyond its borders.

When pastor Hank Busche and newspaper editor Marshall Hogan begin investigating disturbing events in the small college town of Ashton, they uncover a conspiracy more dangerous than either imagined. Behind the visible conflict, an unseen spiritual battle is raging, one with consequences that could extend far beyond the town itself.

Blending supernatural suspense with themes of prayer, faith, courage, angels and demons, and spiritual warfare, This Present Darkness invites readers to see the struggle between good and evil from an unforgettable perspective.
