The Trial of Grover Henry Hendershot Evan Richards

In the 1880's, after sustaining a potentially fatal injury in a mining accident, Grover Hendershot's life is profoundly changed. He now possesses certain supernatural powers, as well as weaknesses and obligations which he must come to terms with as he adjusts to immortality and suffers the eventual loss of his beloved family. Grover is left to scour the earth for another human who possesses a rare quality known as 'the warmth' while devoting his life to public service. Why then, are there so many who fear him and wish to do him harm? After his secret is discovered, Grover is captured and cruelly experimented upon by the C. I. A. before the organization is forced to release him due to the intervention of the mysterious Curtmantle civil rights law firm. It is during a subsequent trial that a shadowy figure from Grover's distant past re-emerges to assist him. Part supernatural thriller, part courtroom drama, the final chapters of the story reveal an incredible twist in which a deeper, much more profound, secret about Grover's identity is ultimately revealed.
