Oregon's coastal forests, rocky beaches, and giant sand dunes are sparsely populated and unspoiled. Things lost there are not easily found. Those who live there do so for a reason. That's the way it's been for a long time. It all changes when the Air Force loses two prototype weapons. The weapons need to be recovered. The search needs to be low profile. A special investigator is sent to find them. He arrives at a small town isolated by ocean and forest. Here secrets are kept, tolerance is tested, crimes are covered up, and covenants are broken. Here the forests and sand dunes hide more than two lost weapons.
