The Red Bag

by George Ebey

For Phil Parker and his wife, Macy, life in their quiet Midwest home is peaceful and idyllic. But their world is soon turned upside down when a mysterious acquaintance sends them a strange and alluring gift. It's called the red bag. Once the cherished property of a long-dead film director, it has gained a reputation as a mysterious and valuable collector's item.Now in possession of this strange, yet fascinating prize, Phil attempts to track down the man who sent it to him. But his search is quickly halted when he learns that the man is dead, having been murdered just days after sending Phil the package. Not wanting to get involved, Phil chooses to put the red bag aside and return his attention to his home and family. But after surviving a savage act of violence at the hands of a disturbed man who is seeking the red bag for himself, Phil has no choice but to confront the mystery before him. He soon learns that the red bag is more than just a simple heirloom. It has a history all its own, one that will plunge Phil into a world of danger and greed, pitting him against forces that he never could have imagined, against people who value the red bag more than anything else in the world and will stop at nothing to get it.

I absolutely loved it! Brilliantly written. I love how Ebey ties this one and The Broken Cloak together. This one is even better than the first one! This is a must read series! I can’t wait for the next book!
