Years ago, Colin Dowey survived a horrific act of violence. The memories of that event and the voices of the dead still haunt him. He is struggling to move on with his life when, with the appearance of a woman in the bank where he works, Colin once more finds his life at risk.
The discovery of a map, a strange coin, and a journal containing cryptic symbols puts Colin in the sights of a psychopath who will stop at nothing to retrieve the items. But the secrets that the journal and map contain are even worse. Secrets that could destroy millions of lives.
With the help of his closest friends and the woman with whom everything started, Colin must stay alive long enough to decode the information and stop the unthinkable.
But survival is difficult when a determined killer seems to know his every move.
I write stories that pull you in fast and don’t let go—dark, gripping tales where danger lurks in the shadows and the past is never really buried. My books are filled with flawed, sharp-edged characters fighting their way through eerie landscapes, whether it’s a haunted town in the Deep South or a world unraveling under its own corruption. In addition to my books, I’ve had several short pieces published in various magazines such as Black Petals, The Harrow and Lullaby Hearse.
I live in Birmingham, Alabama with my wife and hyper Boston Terrier, Buster. When not writing about nightmarish things, I enjoy cooking, reading, brewing beer and trying to watch every horror movie made in the 80’s.
Incredible novel by Mr. Daniel. I was glued start to finish. The main character's development was most satisfying, his struggles relatable even in fictitious circumstances. A great novel for readers of all genres. I only gave 4 stars because only Harry Potter gets five stars.
This is very different from the author's first book, it fits into a totally different genre of books. This book is a mixture of action, suspense and just a hint of romance. I thought it was extremely well written, the characters were interesting and the plot was one that I didn't want to stop reading until I reached the end.
