About the book
The locals say it’s cursed.
Iraq War veteran Jason "J.C." Carter is running from two things: a Chicago mob boss who wants him dead, and the ghost of his brother who won't stay buried.
He lands in Devil's Ridge, Colorado, a dying mountain town with nothing left but whiskey, desperation, and an abandoned mine that's been sealed for eighty years.
The locals say it's cursed. J.C. doesn't believe in curses.
When he convinces the town to blast open Kiowa Rock, he doesn't just find what he's looking for. He unleashes something that's been waiting in the dark, an ancient, flesh-eating spirit that slips into human skin and leaves mutilated bodies in its wake.
Now the town is tearing itself apart. The mob has tracked him down. And the thing from the mine is hunting him through the cursed peaks of the Rocky Mountains.
J.C. survived the war. He survived the syndicate. But surviving the Wendigo might cost him more than his life.
