The Lost Curse
by T. Lynn Adams
When a bullet tears through the
quiet of the canyon ending the life of a Paiute Indian and his dog actions are set in motion that will have effects that will be seen 10 years later.
Cole Matthews is returning
to Utah by plane and he is being tracked by a killer. Ryan Polson is
capturing everything that Cole is doing on his phone. Severino is
seated next to Cole after leaving Peru 20 hours earlier. Waiting for
Severino's arrival are the Bradfords, who played for his trip as a
thank-you for saving Jonathon's life twice in the last year.
Ryan and Steven are out in
the Utah lava flows looking for a flow that has has been carved into
the shape of a Spanish turtle. The turtle is a clue to finding a
Spanish mine that is bobby-trapped at both entrances and it points to
the Pahvant Mountains.
Jonathon and Severino plan
to spend time hiking in the canyons and to visit with Jonathon's
grandmother. Jonathon's friend Tallie palns to join them when she is
not working.
Cole forces Tate to help him
in his search and sends Tate out to photograph Hell Hole Canyon. But
Tate is still in the canyon after nightfall when he sees what he
believes can only be a spirit of the Paiute Indians. When Tate gets
away he finds Tallie that his actions have awakened a Skinwalker and
trouble is coming!
Ryan and Steven are camping
to protect their find until they can cut it out, when they notice a
light that gives off no heat, seems to be floating and appears to be
tracking them. Something knows they are there but what it is, they
have no clue!
Tallie tells Jonathon and
Severino about the Death Light a strange floating light in the desert
that has been known by her people the Paiutes before the pioneers
settled the area. She said her dad saw just it the week before he
disappeared over 10 years ago.
Carre Shinob was an
underground temple built by seven Indian tribes and was sought by the
Conquistadors. The Indians rebelled and drove them from the land.
When Jonathon sees that Ryan
and Steven have Spanish artifacts in the back of a truck, Tallie's
safety is threatened by Ryan if Jonathon tells anyone what he saw.
When Jonathon and Severino
find an artifact they can't identify, Jonathon sends a picture to his
father and Cole gets a copy of the picture. But before they know
what is happening Tallie is taken hostage to force the two boys to
reveal what they've discovered.
But when they attempt to
escape through the mine they become trapped and their lives are
endanged by the traps within the mine.
Everything is not as it
appears, but who will live and who will die? Read The Lost Curse
and discover the truth for
yourself!
The Lost Curse is
an exciting page turner that takes a look at the Paiute and Incan
societies and the damage done to them through the greed and cruelty
of conquering groups.
