The Jade Dagger
In THE JADE DAGGER, artist Parke Higgins’ road trip home from the Grand Canyon begins with a dream of riding a black and white horse through a hail of bullets. In this dream world, a mysterious Native American woman captivates him. In the waking world, he can’t forget her, her stunning horse, or that thrilling ride across the New Mexico landscape.
While his wife waits in the car, Parke stops at a reservation trading post and buys an ancient jade dagger. Its origins are a mystery, but the jade dagger gets hot when he touches it.
Back in his art studio in St. Louis, when the jade dagger begins to reveal its magical powers, Parke uses it to bring the Native American woman to life on canvas. His wife is jealous of the painting, but he’s compelled to paint the woman in order to feed his deep yearning for her.
Soon, the line blurs between dreams and reality. When the magic of the jade dagger thrusts Parke into a mystical world that he never imagined existed, he experiences a thrilling adventure that will change him forever.
THE JADE DAGGER unveils the mysticism and rich imagery of primitive Native American culture, and juxtaposes it with life in modern times. Within THE JADE DAGGER is a tantalizing world where an ancient artifact, lucid dreaming, and the creation of art are just the beginning of one man’s incredible journey...
“Suspense and action mingle in one of the finest debut thrillers I've read in a long time. The Rig is a lot of fun.”
—H.T. Night, bestselling author of The Fourth Sunrise and Vampire Nation
“Lightning fast. Sweeping storytelling. This is everything an action adventure should be. Mr. Rollins, I am your new fan.”
—J.T. Cross, author of Lost Valley and Beneath the Deep
