New Release

When detective Scott Drayco is kidnapped and given a mysterious puzzle to solve, his predicament is bizarre enough. But after he's released and one of his kidnappers is killed—a man who allegedly died five years ago—what began as a puzzling situation turns into an even stranger quest to get to the bottom of one of the oddest cases of Drayco's career.
