Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
Full of suspense, riveting, and deeply mesmerizing, Manipulation Unto Death is a fictional melodrama that will at times amuse you and unglue you and will stay in your memory bank forever. Samantha, a pregnant Southern-raised sheltered twelve-year-old, is missing without a trail, hot or cold. Voluminous speculations were made throughout the red hills of Georgia and beyond about this unlawful, horrific, sinful act. The local police and social service departments became involved, both launching full-scale investigations, sparing no resources. Given the intensity of the investigation, one might wonder why the community members of this nondenominational religious sect are deliberately tight-lipped. Sadly, the investigation constantly stalls; the police take a long shot and call in a renowned psychic. Is a resolution required to reexamine the age-old notion that children are to be seen but not heard? Or perhaps is it embedded in societys lack of awareness and acceptance of the wide spectrum of autism disorders?
