The Unspeakable: A Novel

A priest must investigate a fellow man of the cloth—and claims of miraculous healing among his congregation—in this novel of faith and friendship.

As an administrator for the Diocese of St. Paul, Peter Whitmore is asked to investigate a priest who is rumored to perform miracles. But the priest in question, Jim Marbury, is no stranger to Whitmore. He is an old friend from seminary, and a spiritual mentor whom Whitmore has not seen in more than twenty years.

Always somewhat unconventional, Marbury is now mute, speaking only in sign language. He claims that his voice was stolen by God on a trip through western Pennsylvania. On that same journey, in a snowstorm that nobody can verify, Marbury encountered a terrible car accident and a family who changed his life irrevocably.

Marbury suddenly finds himself in a world where the mystical is not in a book but alive and breathing. And Whitmore must decide for himself which events are really the hand of God and which are the delusions of a man gone mad.
