Luke Derringer had no idea that the case he took on for a friend would reach across an ocean with a tangled web of lies, deceit and unspeakable horrors. Nor did he know that it would lead back to Pilgrim’s Crossing, where the truth would involve family and friends. This small community would become the boiling point of ground zero. It would become a threat to national security. This case would become the most important case in Luke Derringer’s life. He didn’t know just how dark and evil a human mind could be. He would be changed forever, never to see things in quite the same way. When this case came so close to the destruction of his own mother, it caused feelings to come out in Luke that he had forgotten that he possessed. When all the dust cleared, the town of Pilgrim’s Crossing would never be the same again!
