On a hot afternoon in June a beautiful blonde steals a car and half a million in cash…then disappears, leaving both in a deserted rest area in rural Northern California. Then, hours later, the bodies of five women are discovered on a desolate mountainside, shot execution style and left in a careful, distinct arrangement. Mariposa County Sheriff Bill Ashton is the man tasked with putting it all together, or watching it all fall apart. Arden Jones is the Air Force Public Relations officer determined to find out where her estranged sister has disappeared to, no matter what the cost. How their lives tie into a mysterious psychopath's plan to rise to the next plane of existence--a mystical place sought after by generation after generation of witches and mystics, both good and evil--and how and why young women are disappearing can only be found in The Summerland.
