Disappearance. Confession. Resurrection? Seven years ago young Mark Siebert disappeared while on his paper route in downstate Mount Logan. The local police chief considered the boy a runaway and refused to involve the FBI. Two months later a transient drunk confessed to killing Mark and burying his body in the national forest. Despite a massive search, Mark’s body was never found. Now a man has approached Mark’s parents claiming their son is alive and wants to come home. Could it be true? Or is it a con? The Sieberts ask Detective Jake Houser for help but have one condition: they no longer trust the police and want the authorities kept out of it. Jake owes the Sieberts, so he accepts their terms and goes it alone. He will wish he hadn’t. Jake’s off-the-books investigation digs up the depraved and twisted secrets of powerful men with unlimited resources. Will these dangerous forces erase every link to the past before Jake can find the truth?
