Alaskan State Trooper Liam Campbell uncovers a sixty-year-old conspiracy as lethal today as it was six decades ago.

It seems the past has caught up with Alaska State Trooper Liam Campbell. After a party of hunters stumbles upon a desiccated human hand clutching an incredibly rare 'double-eagle' gold coin, Liam Campbell is led to the broken remains of a World War II-era transport plane emerging from the face of a calving glacier. For some sixty years the glacier has held its secrets close: Who was on the ill-fated flight? What were they doing? 74-year-old Newenham matriarch Lydia Tompkins might have had the answers Campbell is looking for, but now she's dead too , murdered in her own home.

And she won't be the last to die as a once-buried secret returns to haunt the present.
