Ragsheet


Book Description

It has been a long-held belief that within our own government lies a shadow conspiracy whose members hide from the public the fact that we have received technological advancements from otherworldly beings. A small group of journalists and police officers may have uncovered the truth about the terrifying price that we all may have paid for that technology. The public will learn of this, not through the mainstream media, but through the front pages of a tabloid press – a ragsheet. When Douglas Cherones, a rookie novelist, approaches Warren McCullough, a down on his luck reporter, the two embark on a mission to track down 14 missing children. Referred to by the media as the Mid-Atlantic fourteen, the trail leads them to a murder - suicide cult whose enigmatic leader may be in contact with a malevolent alien lifeform.
