Tea for Twenty 
From the Files of the Tayan Research Network

From the archives of the Tayan Research Network…a
worldwide institute researching the paranormal…comes a story of murder,
mystery, and manifestations of incredible psychic and supernatural powers.

The death of psychic researcher James Turner, while
alone in one of the most haunted houses in Houston TX, has shocked the entire
Network. Jims friends and co-workers cannot understand how it could have
happened. Michael Morriset…a disturbed young man tormented by extraordinarily
powerful psychic abilities that he can barely control…lives with the terror of
having witnessed Jims death in a dream at the exact moment that it occurred.
Or was it a dream? Could Michaels self-described inner demon have killed Jim
without his realizing it?

Against TRN directives, Michael assembles a team to
move into the house and solve its mysteries. The only people who will accompany
him have their own motives for going…fear, pride, greed, jealousy — even
another murder. As the malevolent power of the house grows stronger, reaching
out to claim more victims, Michael and his team face a countdown to a terrible
final conflict where the most dangerous opponent that they face might just be
the renegade spirit of Jim Turner himself.
