Intercessor

Jim Hampton arrived in New Orleans, eager to escape the stress of quitting a lucrative law practice. Instead, he finds a city on edge as a tropical depression brews in the Gulf. The storm appears to be dredging up the odd and unusual like shells from the ocean floor. Shadowy figures appear in alleyways; mysterious voices seem to come from nowhere. Jim is skeptical of the locals' claims that these are warnings from victims of past storms. He had all but given up on belief in the supernatural. That is until he meets Myriam, who begins to restore the faith of his childhood.

As the storm-turned-hurricane bears down on the city, Jim relies on that faith to counter a murderous cult chasing him through the darkest corners of the French Quarter. After a twisted journey of terror and revelation, Jim makes discoveries that will change his life forever.

A Surprising Story!

Intercessor is a unique story that doesn’t follow formula in the way that so many suspense stories do. This book reads (listens?) as much like a supernatural thriller as it does an exploration of rediscovering faith. Both the main character, Jim, and his antagonist/villain undergo huge personal transformations, making this book surprising even when you think you know where it is going. John Still paints vivid images of New Orleans and Louisiana, and narrator Jonathan Beville convincingly runs an emotional and psychological gamut in this well performed book.
