Author Description

1993… leaving Chattanooga, Tennessee… bound for Nome, Alaska… Detective Michael Avery lies dead atop Grindstone Mountain. Fires burn across the world. Detective Locklar and Agatha have joined their nuclear family and venture cross-country, seeking the refuge of Samuel, the supreme leader of the Children of the Enlightened One in Nome, Alaska. A familiar face returns and joins forces with FBI Agent Elizabeth Palladino, who’s been tracking the cult and investigating allegations of kidnapping by the group. The chase is on across the continental US, through Canada, and into the foreboding landscape of one of the most remote and sparsely populated places in America. The road to Alaska brings daunting challenges to both parties. Who will break? Will the pursuit result in Eugene and his family’s apprehension? Or will they succeed in whatever malevolent plan the old minister has in mind? Can life return to normal following the catastrophic event that night on Grindstone Mountain? This is the end.
