Free Excerpt From The Book (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader) Wolfwood Forest:In Olsegon, on a July afternoon, 1950, Amber Green’s fourteen-month-old boy, Rusty, disappears from his playpen in the yard. A search progresses through mysterious Wolfwood Forest, adjacent to Amber’s house. Mark Snipe, sheriff, finds skimpy evidence. While citizens and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police comb Wolfwood Forest all the way to the cemetery and marsh, Mark and Amber’s interaction rekindles memories of their relationship, her failed affairs, and shaky marriage. Pregnant with her older boy, Vincent, fathered by Mark, the nuns eject Amber from school. Drafted, Mark does not know that she carries his child. He experiences WWII on Dieppe beach, German prison, solitary confinement, and the death march. On the second day, Mark connects clues. He guides the parents beyond Wolfwood Forest to an islet where they discover the kidnapper. Amber rescues Rusty, unharmed. Massacre Island: A year later, the rape and murder of teenager Lisa Surette on Fishermen’s Island stirs Olsegon. Townsmen and Lisa’s parents blame the mystery man who lives on Massacre Island, near Fishermen’s Island. Sheriff, Mark Snipe, not convinced and pressured, agrees to seek out the hermit. War recollections still haunt Mark. Reported by fishermen, the mystery man disappears on sight. No one knows where he came from. Amber, divorced, she and Mark are lovers. On Massacre Island, the sheriff leads four men up a cliff, in a forest, to an embedded marsh, sea cove, into caves where the team discovers skeletons, hieroglyphics, artifacts, who the mystery man is, and who murdered Lisa.
