Description

From a flyer:

In this non-slash "sequel" to the Lou Diamond Phillips thriller THE FIRST POWER, a serial killer is stalking the pretty red-headed women of Los Angeles —and Detective Russell Logan hasn’t got a clue. His girlfriend less, however, finds out more than she bargained for, and a psychic hunch costs her her life. Now Russ is bent on revenge, still hopelessly lost and helplessly watching the body count rise.

Help arrives in the form of a strange young man named Tarri Armstrong, a powerful psychic claiming to have been contacted by less from the Beyond and sent to Logan to help him catch the killer. At first the detective is reluctant to accept his assistance, but soon finds he has no choice but to once again put his trust into the supernatural.

Sequels

Proposed Second Zine

A second zine in this series was proposed but never completed. It was called "Third Power." Summary:

To Russ' horror, Patrick Charming has found a way back -- this time through someone very close to Russ. Close as a lover. Can he save Tarri from the evil spirit that possesses him, without permanently damaging - or even killing him?
