The fourth in the Fever Devilin series.
Fever Devilin is a folklorist by inclination and training. He was born and raised amongst the hill-country folk of the Georgia Appalachians and it was there that he returned once he decided to leave academia.
Hes the perfect person to turn to when the owner of a mysterious medallion, one with some connection to the area, wants to uncover the provenance of the piece. On the surface, it sounds simple enough but nothing is ever that simple in Fever's life.
The medallions owner is found murdered, in Fevers house and the papers of Fevers late grandfather, of no intrinsic value, are stolen. And naturally Fever is the prime suspect.
The only clue to the truth behind these confusing events is the medallion itself, which is somehow tied to Fevers secretive familys history. With someone trying to frame him for the murder and other hidden forces hot on the trail of the medallion itself, Fever is wedged tightly between the proverbial rock and equally proverbial hard place. And the only possible way out is buried within the uncomfortable hidden truths about his own family that Fever has spent years trying to avoid.
