A serial killer in Rocklynne, Oregon, has been dubbed "The Preacher". He kills in the name of Satan yet considers himself the son of God. He believes he cannot be caught — he's gotten away with eight so far and there are more to come.

He does have an edge — he knows the police department's every move before they even make it.

Gifted psychic Norrie Benedict knows she must stop him. She makes it her job to help Lieutenant Dylan Jones and Detective Brandon Hawke catch the murdering madman. With these two men protecting her, Norrie makes mental contact with the Preacher, hoping she can stop him before he kills again, or at least disclose his true identity. She doesn't learn much.

Trouble is, the Preacher wants Norrie as his next victim.
