But now two forces vying for the treasure have learned that it is not at all what they thought it was–and its true nature could change the modern world.

Suddenly a local double murder becomes a crime with national and worldwide implications. John Corey doesn’t like mysteries, which is why he likes to solve them.
His investigations lead him into the lore, legends, and ancient secrets of northern Long Island — more deadly and more dangerous than he could ever have imagined.
