The Lonely Void Shannon Hodges

Dr. Bob Gifford is interim director of the Student Health Center at tiny Wells Springs College in the ridiculously remote town of Wells Springs, Texas. When one of Bob's students claims she was visited by a brother thought to be killed during the Gulf War, he fears she's losing her mind. He schedules a second session, but the student mysteriously disappears.

His lone friend is Fr. Jose Pallo, a radical, ex-con, very profane priest ironically is the one person in whom the irreligious Bob can confide. Soon, shadowy forces are closing in leaving Bob to rely on his raw wits for survival. Each time he dodges a threat, another seems lurking around the corner, turning a seemingly tranquil college campus and sleepy community into a landmine.
