description: In Resurrection Angel, a reclusive psychic and a punk rock private eye team up to investigate a case involving amnesia, UFO abduction, abortion clinic protests and murder. "I touch things and they tell me stories. Sometimes beautiful, sometimes brutal." Denton Ward, genius, recluse, alcoholic, psychic. "I swear if I have to take a picture of one more cheating husband, I'm gonna shoot someone." Monty Crocetti, part-time punk rocker, full-time private investigator, girlfriend and partner of Denton Ward. Lisa Rappaport seemed to have it all--a popular boyfriend, a wealthy father, and a sudden and unexplained case of amnesia. A late-night phone call brings Denton and Monty to her bedside and into her life. Her doctor thinks it's a routine case, but a hypnosis session with Denton brings to light a possible cause for her memory loss--alien abduction. Lisa swears she is a virgin, but a drugstore test proves she's pregnant. Could the father be of unknown origin? Or is the answer here on planet Earth? When Lisa is found dead outside her father's secluded cabin, it's up to Denton and Monty to weave the many threads of this case into a tapestry of redemption and justice that will resonate long after the last page has been turned.
