Identical twins, separated at birth, find themselves on a collision course with survival as the prize. Brett Stark made a hasty decision in his youth to join the secret Society of Ahilists that promised untold wealth--but at what cost? Because of Brett's psychopathic personality resulting from the interaction of genetic and environmental factors, he's driven by his lack of any conscience, his sexual appetite, and his lack of empathy for those around him to use his power and wealth to finance crime and murder on the streets of Chicago. In order for Brett to beat the "dead by forty" promise he'd made to the Society, he must switch places with his twin brother. It won't be easy, though, as his brother is Detective Barry Farnsworth of the Chicago Police Department. A tapestry of psychology, suspense, romance and fantasy direct the plot to its dramatic and surprising conclusion.

On a cold February morning in 1908, the ground under Coal Valley, Illinois, trembled as an earthquake opened the earth, collapsed mining tunnels, and created chasms and fissures as deep as five hundred feet below the rolling hills. It would forever be known as Coal Valleys great cave-in. Thirteen men lay trapped for three months as tensions rose among the townspeople, rescuers, and families of the trapped miners. One rescue attempt after another failed due to aftershocks, weather, and just plain bad luck. The dangers were great below ground, but the twisted minds of some of the towns inhabitants made the danger even greater at the surface. A story of adventure, suspense, greed, romance, fantasy, and redemption that will leave the reader wondering who or what was actually trapped under Coal Valley. Was it just the miners, the apparitions that they faced, or was it the underground dwellers whose intelligence was advancing at such a rapid pace that they were preparing for their place in the sun?
