Publisher's Synopsis
Set in Northern Arizona, "The Secret They Kept" is filled with haunting nightmares, a stalker, mysterious clues, young love, and lots of secrets. Prologue: "Fiery crash shortly before midnight claims the life of beloved rock star Damon La Rosa..." The world mourned the tragic news that Damon La Rosa, age 43, died when the car he was driving went off the side of a cliff, exploding into flames with him trapped inside. As Arizona's favorite son, not only did Damon quickly rise to fortune and fame as one of the greatest rock stars the music industry had ever seen, he was also hugely influential when marching band rosters began exploding with students; mostly wanting to play percussion - same as their idol had when he was in high school. When his Last Will and Testament was read it was discovered that he had a camp built on fifteen acres of his property and donated it to the Arizona Marching Band Association for use as a summer band camp. Every camp has its mysterious legend or eerie tales of hauntings and Camp La Rosa is no different. (But are the stories really only fabricated?) July 31, 2014 marked the fifth anniversary of Damon's death. As people from all over the world made their way to the crash site vigil, the Apollo Marching Hawks were full swing into what should have been a simple, nothing-too-exciting week at Camp La Rosa. What happens one chilling night in the woods changes all of their lives forever, forcing them into keeping a foreboding secret.
