In this prequel to his popular novel, Murder at Whalehead, author
Joe C. Ellis draws from his experiences growing up in the river
town of Martins Ferry, Ohio and the legends surrounding the
community. Scotch Ridge is a safe haven from the world until the
day Nathan Kyler moves into the shack by the creek. Elijah
Mulligan, a leader in the community, does not trust him. Reverend
Byron Butler tries to befriend him. But Kyler is obsessed with a
diabolical vision--human sacrifice. Who is the focus of Kyler's
obsession? Christine Butler, the preacher's daughter. In the
graveyard of the Scotch Ridge Presbyterian Church is a monument
known as "The Chair." Some say the monument is cursed--if you sit
on it at midnight you will die within 24 hours. The day after
Christine Butler sits on "The Chair" she disappears. A mile from
the church, deep in the Appalachian woods is a place Elijah
Mulligan calls "The Healing Place." It is here something
incredicble happens. Praise for The Healing Place: "Ellis has
created a novel of suspense with a storyteller's grasp of detail."
Donna Swanson "Ellis' style quickly captures the reader and keeps
them hanging on until the finale." V.R. Falcone "Beautifully
written!" Rev. Dr. R.L. Croker
