THE THIRD MIRACLE Galas

A charismatic priest who serves as a church-appointed “spiritual detective,” Father Frank Moore probes the facts behind reported miracles. But after a disturbing incident leaves him with the nickname “The Miracle Killer”, Father Frank is on the brink of hopelessness, eventually living on the streets. Then the powerful Cardinal Cahill finds him to hand him an unwanted mission: He must journey to St. Stanislaus in Chicago, where mystical phenomena are reportedly taking place surrounding a recently deceased immigrant woman.

Father Frank uncovers a series of extraordinary events, including his discovery of the “saint’s” very earthly daughter, Roxanne. A feisty non-believer, Roxanne cannot forgive her otherwise selfless mother for abandoning her when she was 16. Now, the closer Frank comes to proving his first real miracle, the more intense his feelings become for Roxanne-whose alluring reality brings his doubts and desires to the fore, imperiling the very foundation of his investigation.

Part unconventional detective story, part inner sanctum courtroom thriller and part star-crossed romance, THE THIRD MIRACLE is a spellbinding and sensual inquiry into the crossroads of faith and reality.
