On November 28th, 1980, the Nordhoff Ranger football and cheer teams disappeared on their way to a game near Bakersfield. For eight weeks, a nationwide search was underway. For eight weeks, there were no suspects, no evidence, and no motives. They simply vanished without a trace.
Detectives Marcus Reyes and Hank Lopez awaken one morning to a call coming in from Frazier Park, one hundred miles away, of hikers making a disturbing discovery along a trail. What they will find there will send them down a hole darker than they could ever dream of. One that will lead them to a revelation that will uproot their understanding of the world and the universe at large.

Church on Sundays, book club on Mondays, Bible study on Wednesdays, their kids' games on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Charity donations on Fridays, and dates on Saturdays. I guess its true what they say. The biggest monsters don't hide in the darkness of your closet. Instead, they smile in your face in broad daylight. The worst demons don't conceal themselves in your shadow. They thrive in the light. The darkest souls own the brightest smiles. A light so captive, you don't even realize they've gotten so close. Don't even realize when you've befriended them and their darkness has touched you. So, Sometimes, to find the ugliest monster, you have to look in the mirror. P.S, the tags should serve as a warning as well. This story is my own, which means I own the characters, plot, etc. However, I did get some inspiration from James Patterson's WOMEN'S MURDER CLUB, just with a slight twist ;)
