THIRTY YEARS AGO, THE REMAINS OF A YOUNG CHILD WERE FOUND IN A CAVE. HIS NECK WAS BROKEN. The child was never claimed. There were no witnesses. There were no leads. The case went cold. Gil Novak decides to retire and concentrate on improving his health. His severe insomnia is fueled by recurring nightmares filled with monsters, devils, angels, and gunfire! Hypnotherapy steers him toward seeking out what traumatized him as a teenager on a mountain in Massachusetts. Detective Karen Tindall reactivates the cold case because she finally has a lead. Gil saw the child and his family at that cave fifty years ago. Gil is engaged by Karen's police department as a consultant. The case involved a desperate family on the run that became involved in the hippie culture as they sought refuge at a commune. The case heats up as Gil is attacked and nearly killed. Seemingly random murders and arsons keep cropping up. Detective Tindall gets kidnapped. DNA evidence eventually starts to pay off. In addition to the thrilling pursuit of a complex mystery, this book is the compelling story of a family who is critically damaged by horrifying events and to what extent that gets resolved. It also involves Gil coming to terms with the death of his wife, and his bumbling and lighthearted transition to the retirement phase of his life.
