Exhausted after weeks of struggling to break the enigmatic code leading to the discovery of the Piri Reis map, Tony Boudreaux was looking forward to the simple assignment of running down a missing man. A few days after locating Justin Chester and escorting him back to Austin, Tony is stunned to learn Chester has been killed in a freak auto accident. Chester's sister once again hires Tony to investigate. His investigation leads him back through a century of rural intrigue involving the myth of a crashed spaceship and the burial of its other-worldly pilot. Tony is skeptical about the town's rumored extraterrestrial encounter. His suspicions are confirmed when his search of the burial site turns up evidence of an unsolved twenty-year-old murder.
