In the Shadow of a Crooked Spire

By Nelson McKeeby

Caleb Random doesn't look for lost people.

He looks for the truth behind why they left.

When a shadowy employer hires him to find Tammy Joe Reynolds, a college volleyball player who drifted into the orbit of a rising spiritual guru and cult leader, Caleb expects another manipulation case. Another charismatic fraud. Another circle of deluded followers whose ideas are paper thin nonsense cut from a tissue of lies.

What he finds instead is a darkness that threatens everything he knows.

In the Shadow of a Crooked Spire begins the Negentropy Series with a stark, first-person descent into cult power, influence, and the cost of remembering who you are.
