Some secrets should never be unearthed.

 

Detective Mike Sams has his hands full with a couple of grisly murders. Murders with no DNA evidence, but appear to have been caused by teeth, teeth never before seen by forensics or zoologist.  Murders similar to those happening in Italy. 

 

In another part of Boston, Father Frank Daniel calls upon Dr. Cary Blake, ancient language expert, to help decipher a newly discovered scroll.  A primeval scroll the Catholic Church holds under lock and key.  A scroll that appears to be the instructions to release something from the depths of Hell.

 

Is there any question both Mike and Cary are working the same case?

 

“The Gatherer” is a gem among the self-publishing industry.  I mention this only because there has been discussion for and against self-publishing.  Yes, I have read some that were very weak and disappointing.  “The Gatherer” is a page-turner thrill ride.

 

Mr. Bayne captured my attention from page one and held it through to the end.  I had to force myself to put it down; I do require sleep even when reading an exciting tale.

 

Mr. Bayne created a good old fashion devil-monster hunt.

 

I’m sure there are flaws, I remember questioning a couple of bits; however, now I can’t remember them.  “The Gatherer” feels as good in the hands as it scares did in the middle of the night.

 

Mr. Bayne where’s your next book?
