From Award-Winning Author, James Peyton comes a thriller you won’t want to put down. Grab your copy today and get lost in the suspense. In a land ruled by shadows, one light refuses to die. Banished to the remote village of Bustamante for daring to expose the crimes of the protected elite, young Mexican, federal agent, Artemas Salcido is thrust into a brutal murder case. The vicious death of a US senator’s daughter on a college field trip to the nearby caverns, ignites a worldwide firestorm drawing the international press, including Artemas’ former girlfriend from Harvard, the FBI, a ruthless hit squad, and Mexico’s highest powers to the village. A chilling revelation surfaces, a centuries-old blood cult entangled with a formidable financial cabal, reaching from medieval Europe to the corridors of Mexico's most powerful citizens. Amidst a crescendo of violence and gruesome murders, Artemas stands firm, vehemently challenging his superiors’ concocted solutions and, in turn, painting a target on his back. Running for his life, Artemas has to decide whether to remain in Mexico or flee the country. The choice he makes changes Mexico’s history. Unique Mystery Thriller "All of the characters are richly drawn and the story line has enough twists and turns to keep you guessing all the way through this exciting read. Artemas, the local Federal protagonist, is such a standout character that I suspect we will see him in future Peyton thrillers. At least I hope so."
