Murder at Our Lady of Sorrows Stuart J Knickerbocker 1st edition

"Murder at Our Lady of Sorrows" begins in the Prologue where a Catholic priest is murdered in the church confessional. It is also the story of the Starbuck family who reluctantly become involved in helping the police solve the murder and an unrelated bank heist for ransom money. All six members of the Starbuck family posses a special talent. Some comic, some profound, some artistic, but one in particular, Claire, a ten year old girl who is possessed with psychic powers which are brought on by severe thunderstorms. Much to her parent's concern for her life, if she continues to help the police, is unwittingly pulled into a sinister plot. Claire's psychic powers evolve into a series of levitation episodes that run rampant until her life becomes at risk. Eventually, she becomes a celebrity when she sees a vision of the coming of a new comet.
