In DIAMONDBACK,
Phil Bowie delivers a beautifully written, high octane thriller
where the language of landscape jumps out and swallows the
reader. With a plot centered around the quest for gold, Bowie
delivers his own treasure for readers to horde and savor."
~ Ridley Pearson, NY Times Bestselling Author
In
1838, soldiers came with bayonets to drive the Cherokees
from their home in the Great Smoky Mountains. But not before
the people managed to hide their gold mines. They kept their
secret as they were driven like animals to the Oklahoma
reservation. Many died on that infamous Trail of Tears,
and their secrets died with them.
Now, more than a century and a half later, solitary prospector
Moses Kyle discovers one of the ancient lost mines. And disappears.
Among those seeking Moses and his discovery are hot-shot
pilot John Hardin and beautiful Cherokee biker Kitty Birdsong.
Unfortunately, also on the hunt in the misty folds of the
Smokies is a murderous family clan rooted in the worst kind
of evil, along with a group of cult members who are led by
a fanatical snake-handling preacher, and who will do anything
he asks of them.
When naked greed erupts into violence, John and Kitty find
they must fight for their lives.
