From the foothills of the Colorado Rockies comes a creature, risen from the depths of Native American mythology, seemingly bent on the destruction of human life. But is it hunger for human prey, or a cover for something even more sinister? Something driven by self-interest, an international conspiracy that extends far beyond the mountainous terrain of Jefferson County, Colorado. Written in blood, a callous determination to deny others the use of nature's rarest of elements despite the cost of innocent lives. Rare minerals, unfamiliar to most, not only vital to our everyday lives, but upon which the very survival of the United States could depend. Featuring Matt Berkeley, former Navy Special Warfare officer, past head of security for a congressionally funded archaeological organization and now retired, comes another in the series of action/suspense novels from the prolific imagination of bestselling author, William Kerr.At the request of John Nabhe, an old friend and son of the Navajo Nation, Berkeley is asked to solve a series of murders caused by what is believed to be a nightmare that kills and quickly disappears into the mists of the western foothills above the city of Denver. "Remember the dig in Arizona?" John asks. "The killings we had that nobody wanted to believe who or what did them?" "I've tried to forget, but yes, I remember," Matt responds."We've got something like that out here. And yeah, after what we went through together, you're the only one I could think of who might be able to help.""In Denver?""Close by, before this thing gets somebody else."
