Overview

Mysterious murders terrorize a mining town up in the mountains. At first bears are blamed for the killings, but soon a century-old legend of a dragon doesn't seem so farfetched after all.

When the bear theory doesn't hold up in the gruesome murder of Cliff Benson, his brother, Steve, sets out to investigate. The corrupt mining town resents his intruding questions. It seems that in the late nineteenth century they hanged a preacher and have been playing with sin ever since. Steve is not exempt from flirting with sin and faces the wrath of the dragon in this thriller.

The author of the two-million-copy bestseller This Present Darkness again draws the lines for a battle of cosmic proportions between the forces of good and evil in The Oath--now available in trade paper. A chilling murder sends wildlife biologist Steve Benson on an investigation to discover how his brother has fallen prey to an unexplainable predator.
