A Cry from the Dust

About the book

A 19th century conspiracy involving the Mountain Meadows Massacre is set to be exposed by a 21st century forensic artist named Gwen Marcey.

In 1857, a brutal attack on a wagon train in Utah led to the deaths of 140 people at the hands of militant Mormons known as the Avenging Angels. The massacre, which targeted unarmed men, women, and children, has long been a controversial event in history.

What starts as a routine job for the forensic artist turns into a chilling investigation when she uncovers a modern-day murder with connections to the historic massacre. As Gwen delves deeper into her research, she unravels a cover-up that spans the entire history of the Mormon church.

Caught in the crossfire of a secret society seeking revenge and fulfillment of prophecy, Gwen must race against time to bring suppressed truths to light before history repeats itself.

In A Cry from the Dust, Carrie Stuart Parks draws on her own expertise as a forensic artist to craft a gripping tale that blurs the lines between fact and fiction. Join Gwen Marcey on a thrilling journey to uncover the dark secrets of the past and confront the dangers of the present.
