Deadly adventure was never this much fun....

When Stella Hunter wrote a controversial book she had no idea it would cost not only her marriage but her career. A history professor with a passion for archeology, she has no other place to hide but in a hamlet in Montana where she was raised by her aunt and uncle.

Then one evening, a man with a horribly scarred face stomps on her porch, holding her controversial book. He claims to be on contract to the FBI but doesn't have a badge or a shred of proof to support his claim. What he has is a book with bloody fingerprints that mark an obscure passage dealing with the ancient Peacetaker myth. What would drive a man to travel for hours in a vicious blizzard to find an academic whose book has been out of print for years?

And are there really dark secrets worth killing hundreds of thousands in a dubious book of ancient myths and legends that all the security agencies missed…?
