The Spirit of the Father: an explorer in the Orient receives a visitation from his dying father. Hermann Stehr (1864-1940) was a Silesian author of over thirty novels and novellas.

Deb Stiles thinks so, and when she convinces a young reporter to investigate, nothing in their lives will ever be the same again.
