DEEP IN THE RIVER CUT
Ghost Tracks

When Jesse Eagledancer disappears along a remote stretch of river road, there is almost nothing to explain where he went.

His truck is still there.
His wallet is on the dashboard.
His keys are gone.

And in the red mud beside the driver's door are the tracks of another vehicle?and the boot prints of two men.

For Jesse's brother Luke, the disappearance isn't a relapse, a voluntary walkaway, or another forgotten missing-person case. Jesse has fought his way back from years of addiction, and Luke knows his brother would never simply leave without a word.

With help from BIA Special Agent Marcus Hayes, Luke begins following a trail that leads deep into the timber, along abandoned logging roads and into a forgotten river cut where the past has been buried for decades.

What they uncover is far bigger than one missing man.

Old records point to other men who vanished under suspicious circumstances. Land deeds don't match. County officials have looked the other way. And somewhere beneath the limestone and red clay lies evidence of a secret that powerful people have spent forty years trying to keep buried.

Now Jesse's disappearance has reopened the past.

And Luke is running out of time to find his brother before the people responsible erase the last evidence?and anyone standing in their way.

Some tracks disappear in the river mud.
Others lead straight to the truth.
