In a dark, musty, derelict coal mine tunnel, a boy and an AWOL officer search for stolen Army pistols and a gold coins treasure...almost two decades later, they’re hunted by foreign agents; a foreign country wants a diary stolen with the gold back. Gruesome killings in Forks, MO - what mystery does the diary hide? Is the deadly shootout in Chicago's 'The Four Seasons' hotel linked to it? Does the coded text hide U.S. Government secrets? Will the text be aired on CNN?
Carver was a creature of the night. Often on frosty, corpse-chilled midnights like this, when few people dared to walk in the open and brave the primal resurrections of their childhood fears, he felt a thrum of pride from high in his gut, from that same place where people felt the screeching nails of terror pulsing up with every sound out of the brush, because he knew that there was nothing really in the shadows that was dangerous as him.
