Scientists and explorers have known of the Richat Structure, the Eye of the Sahara, for nearly a century. But those early explorers in the late nineteen thirties, had no idea of the shape, for from the ground, it is just too massive too understand. It was in 2005 that an astronaut on a spacewalk, the first to see the thing in such detail, brought real attention to it. It was not just a patch of rocks in the Sahara. It was a series of concentric circles some forty kilometers in diameter, or about twenty-five miles. The question became, "What is it?" or, "Is it dangerous to the locale, or to ...

Life is cheap in the mid-twentieth century, true for most explorers of that era.

If she could find home, she might find peace. That ...

She did not ask to be here. Her Uncle Beauford always talked of her being the first 'Lady US Marshal.' But, that was just talk. Still, she trained and practiced until she was deadly. The Indian half breed stray was proving quite competent, quite the determined Hunter. Then, circumstances forced her to put on that badge. She was, as Beauford had predicted, the first Lady US Marshal. And she was damned mad. Every outlaw from the bottom to top in that raiding gang that killed her Uncle and her sisters had to go. Especially the top. Outlaws, beware. You asked for it, now you gotta deal with it.

Someone had to do something and that was the boutique PI firm of two dedicated investigators. They were willing to dig and dig until they corralled the perps.

The setting, up in the far northwest of North America, British Columbia to be exact, was beautiful, tranquil and a home site seemingly designed for the new settlers. It had the lake, the mountains, the granite peaks, and all. Privacy, isolation, and friends in the local Indian village. They named it Mirror Lake, for it simply stole one's breath away trying to take it all in. But then, it had something else that was not easily seen. Animals and people could not get near the water. Near it, or on it, no one survived. But only crazy people swim in the great frozen lakes of BC. Too cold, always...

There is evil in this world. A lot of it, and it has little to do with God or the Devil. Both have a say in our lives. It depends on which one you listen to.
