When Earl Alden is found dead, dangling from a wind turbine, it's his wife, Missy, who is arrested. Unfortunately for Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett, Missy is his mother-in-law, a woman he dislikes heartily, and now he doesn't know what to do -- especially when the early signs point to her being guilty as sin.But then things happen to make Joe wonder: Is Earl's death what it appears to be? Is Missy being set up? He has the county DA and sheriff on one side, his wife on the other, his estranged friend, Nate, on a lethal mission of his own, and some powerful interests breathing down his neck. There's no telling which way this case will go -- but there's no doubt that Joe Pickett will be between a rock and a hard place.

Many dangers lurk in the deep -- and the worst of them are human. Thirty minutes into what should have been an easy, beginner-level dive in a remote Florida lake, the rim of a cave collapses, trapping two of Doc Ford's friends. Ford himself manages to escape and quickly surfaces to find help. Instead, he finds trouble.Two men are waiting for him on the shore, and they are not the kind of men you ever want to meet. Ex-cons and killers, they're intent on diving to the bottom of the very deep lake and uncovering the remains of a legendary plane wreck, which is purportedly loaded with Cuban treasury gold. Ford's expertise is just what they need. And if he doesn't want to help? He can die. His friends? They can die, too. In fact, they can die right now . . . As the clock ticks, two struggles unfold simultaneously -- one above ground, and one below. No one is safe . . . and in the deep shadow, death awaits.

This is not a lost world frozen in time, an island of mutants, or a lab where science has gone mad: this is the Earth as it might have looked after evolving on a separate path for half a billion years.Soon the scientists will stumble on something more shocking than anything humanity has ever encountered: because among the terrors of Henders Island, one life form defies any scientific theory and must be saved at any cost.
