Shadows on Iron Mountain
|
Murder/Suspense
Something sinister roams the backwoods of East Tennessee. Hiding in the shadows of the hauntingly beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, a killer waits silently for his next victim. His reign of terror has merged the cold, dark world of Iron Mountain with the sleepy town of Laurel Springs in the valley below. The story begins with Kara and Jason, who rent a rustic cabin on Iron Mountain for their anniversary, with no clue that Patricia Darby disappeared from the cabin a year prior. When Kara is snatched from the cabin, it sets off an impending collision in that land of 10,000 hills; a world where outsiders should never enter. A week after Kara disappears, Patricia Darby is found by local fisherman floating in Doe Creek, her throat slit. Thomas Jordan, a highly decorated detective from Knoxville, is brought in to solve the crimes. He soon realizes that, to find the killer, he must battle not only the inhabitants of Iron Mountain, but the brutal conditions of the mountain itself. Jordan turns to those with strong ties to Iron Mountain to help him find the madman.
