Amy Cross Devil's Briar

DEVIL’S BRIAR

For many years, Devil's Briar has been a mystery. Some say that an entire ghost town is hidden somewhere in the Colorado wilderness, waiting to be discovered. Others claims that Devil's Briar is a myth, that the town never existed at all.

At first, Paula Mitchell and her husband Bill look set to fail in their search for Devil's Briar. But then, unlike all those who have searched before, they make a startling discovery. Devil's Briar is real, although no-one has lived there for many years. As they start to explore the empty streets and buildings, however, Paula and Bill realize that the town is still hiding the same dark secret that caused it to be abandoned in the first place.

Many years earlier, the people of Devil's Briar welcomed a strange new arrival. Thomas Paternoster was a secretive scientist who quickly became a central figure in the town. At first, Paternoster seemed to be a friendly presence, but his true plan soon became apparent. By the time the locals realized what he wanted, Paternoster's plan couldn't be stopped, setting into motion a series of horrific events that still echo through the town to this day.

A century later, Paula and Bill Mitchell are about to discover the awful truth about what happened to Devil's Briar, about where the inhabitants went, and about why the town was so difficult to find.
