About the book
Colorado, 1876: At a remote mining camp high in the Rocky Mountains, eleven silver miners are killed, their bodies horribly mutilated, flesh devoured. Could it be a bear attack? Not everyone is convinced.
136 years later, the cemetery where the miners were laid to rest is being cleared for new development. Forensic pathologist Corrie Swanson has made arrangements to examine the remains. What she uncovers will reveal a conspiracy that remains just as deadly today as it was a hundred years ago.
As the winter snows begin to fall, Corrie's survival hinges on uncovering a dark secret... a secret that may be found within a lost Sherlock Holmes story, a tale rumored to be so terrifying that its author never dared to publish it.
