Supernatural Murder Mystery is a Modern Telling of a Timeless Tale
Tarzana, CA (PRWEB) September 13, 2007 -- The Twelve, a new book by Tom Kennedy, relates a series of vicious murders that attract the attention of a detective, a young reporter, and a psychic, who will attempt to unravel the bizarre mystery surrounding each killing.
Set in Los Angeles, The Twelve begins with the brutal killing of an eccentric Beverly Hills billionaire. The man's dogs are held responsible for the killing, and Detective Lt. Bob Dandridge would have closed the case happily except for one detail: a psychic witnessed the murder through the eyes of the killer. She shares her nightmare with a young reporter who believes her story, and the reporter forces the reluctant detective to open an investigation by threatening to go public with the story. Bound together by the case, the unlikely trio encounters a conspiracy that will shake their beliefs to the core as they draw closer and closer to the truth.
Despite being a work of fiction, The Twelve is not an improbable tale if one considers that the religious-based conspiracies detailed in the book are a form of terrorism, a subject that continuously weighs on the hearts and minds of many Americans. Suspenseful and intriguing, The Twelve serves as forewarning for readers to live life cautiously, all the while captivating them with its thrilling plot.
