From the Author
The high desert of the American southwest has fascinated me ever since I first visited it. The Four Corners area of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah is rich in scenic splendor and ancient history. It is also a land of mysteries, with its meandering canyons and gorges, its seemingly endless deserts, and the ruins of the now vanished Anasazi culture. With its sense of timelessness and mystery, it seemed the ideal place to set EMPIRE OF DUST, the second volume of THE SEARCHERS.
The mysterious prisoner has been brought west by his captors, and the Searchers, three CIA operatives out to debunk so-called paranormal occurrences, have also come west to investigate a series of strange deaths, in which bodies have been drained of every drop of moisture. To add to the mystery, sand drawings have begun to appear, gigantic patterns made in the desert earth, similar to the oft-exposed crop circles. Laika Harris, Joseph Stein, and Tony Luciano are aided by a young woman who seems to have true psychic powers, and their search draws them inexorably toward the prisoner who lies at the heart of the enigma.
THE SEARCHERS is a three-book series, and although you can start with any one, I'd suggest beginning with CITY OF IRON, the first volume. I think that once you read one, you'll be hooked. Reader and reviewer response to the book has been excellent. But don't believe me -- take a look at the listing for THE SEARCHERS: CITY OF IRON. And please keep an eye open for the final volume, SIEGE OF STONE. If you're a fan of the paranormal, THE X-FILES, and MEN IN BLACK, or if you just like a good, exciting read, I think you'll have a great time in the company of THE SEARCHERS.
