Storming Heaven

Mark Beamon, the maverick FBI agent introduced in Rising Phoenix, has a new life: working in a high-level job in Flagstaff, Arizona, he's vowed to try to do things by the book-the FBI way.aWhen he begins investigating a bloody kidnapping-a teenage girl has disappeared, her parents brutally murdered- he finds himself the victim of mysterious harassment. His credit cards are suddenly no good, the bank is foreclosing on his house, and men in black are grilling neighbors about him. Forced to fall back on his unorthodox methods, Beamon makes headway in the case. He discovers that the girl's parents are not her real parents, her name is not her real name, even her past is not what it seems; records show that she is the only living relative of a rich, powerful man who is the head of a little-known but rapidly growing church. Has the girl been abducted in order to be groomed to take the elderly man's place? And is Beamon's nosing around putting his own life in jeopardy?
