Deeds of Destiny

the long version

Michael Casher’s fifth novel, Deeds of Destiny, ventures into the unseen realm of manipulative beings who help shape Earth’s history for an unnamed higher power. When Harlan Trotter, an unemployed factory worker, is charged with the murder of his former best friend -- a crime he would never commit -- he seriously doubts if life is always what you make of it. His suspicions are aroused when things quickly go from bad to worse without any effort on his part and his eyes are soon opened to the fact that a lot of his bad luck is someone else’s doing. But whose? In the ensuing battle between the guardians of fate and the human will, he discovers exactly who and what are the true masters of human destiny. With the help of Belle Summer, the beautiful but eccentric Deputy Coroner who believes in his innocence, Trotter’s life is transformed from "bird of prey" into "predator" as they search together for answers and "hunt down" the elusive denizens of Earth’s invisible underworld.
