Tobias ‘Swede’ Atkins isn’t doing well. He’s still officially a detective with the Kalanu County Sheriff’s department, but sometimes he has blackouts and it’s an effort to tie his own shoelaces. A year long coma left his body weak, and his mind confused. Everyone knows he’s a step away from retirement. Until a child is kidnapped. With both the National Guard and the Sheriff’s department frantically searching, how can a crippled detective help? He can if he knows more about Kalanu Mountain than anyone alive, and especially when he realizes the secret to the child’s kidnapping may lie in the stories of magic and myth from his own childhood. Nobody believes him, but there may be a witch on Kalanu Mountain, a witch waiting to sacrifice his victim. A witch waiting a single bloody confrontation.
