The Disappearance Class

By Kevin Hunter Orr

Adorned with a host of tattoos both sacred and profane emblazoned upon her flesh at birth, Persa Arleigh follows an unlikely course through life. She irks many a Methodist official in her new role as a very young and outspoken ordained minister, and her determination, grit, brains and rare skill set put her at decided odds with most of the patriarchs of her denomination. She rubs the Catholics the wrong way because she can exorcise demons where their own priests have failed. She learns that her adventurous Mother, killed in the mysterious crash of a goliath prototype Zeppelin, led a risky double life involving the most dangerous of dark forces. Persa herself is brilliant and driven and has a generous sexual appetite - traits surely frowned upon in a woman living in 1880s Boston. Upon the gruesome murder of a young female lover, Persa is called west into wilderness Massachusetts to investigate. In a remote and surreal region called Hatfield Reserve, she takes up the defense of two young orphans who find themselves confronted with unspeakable evil. It is with Satan himself that Persa must contend, for she can access something which The Other demands -- something mankind cannot afford for him to possess. The fight she brings to Satan's stoop will reveal more to Persa about herself and her family's own dark history than she could have imagined. To face the Devil down, she'll have to outsmart him... and Persa's been outsmarting men for years.
