BOOK BLURB:

Undercover agent, Colin Chase Rand had seen it all, or thought he’d had.

Cruising down the road, rocking to the radio, Colin came across an ethereal phenomenon, the Fata Morgana. It was no mere illusion. The shimmering surreal glow enveloped him, pulling him through a portal, setting his course to a different era and defying all explanations of reality.

Nothing could’ve prepared him for the next leg of his journey, a journey that would take him to a deceptively quiet countryside in Genoa City, 1935, where a sinister serial killer was lying in wait.

EXCERPT TWO:

Usually, when he completed a job, he left it all behind, but those two will be lifetime friends.

After Keoni’s initial shock of discovering that Colin and Lizette were undercover FBI agents, he had their back. Normally, the job would’ve been over and assigned somewhere else. It wasn’t quite how it worked out and Colin was satisfied with the outcome.

Keeping their secrets from the Mafia and keeping them from the FBI wasn’t much different. Occasionally, there was a bit of guilt that bubbled up. Neither one of them coughed up the information to the higher echelons.

Colin smiled to himself. And boy, the two of them were a bundle of fun. It broke the high stress of being undercover and wondering if he’d see the next morning.

It was his mother’s expression when he announced he’d joined the FBI as an undercover agent.

It took a few moments before she finally said, “I’m proud of you, son, but what happens when you wake up dead because of some sicko or felon killing you?”

He hugged her. There was nothing else he could do except give empty reassurances.

He had a four-week vacation under his belt, and he intended to take the whole four weeks. One week with his family and the rest would be a nice ride to Florida by way of the New England coast.

It’d be the first break he’d had in well over three years. Colin planned on taking small hops and playing tourist before he hit all the waves on the Rhode Island coast. He may even put his board in at Ruggles Rd.

Once he tackled those breakers, he’d be on his way to the next town, the next adventure, and the next undercover position in a small, obscure, and relatively unknown town in Florida.

He drove on the scenic roads and avoided the highways. He smiled as he enjoyed the drive looking at the open land, the cows, corn, soy, more corn, and oh, look! Cows.

A few hours later, it was time for him to charge the car, and take his first stop at Spring Green. He’d heard about the House on the Rock for years and never managed to get there to see it until now.
