A Prehistoric Skull. A Career-Ending Lie. A Conspiracy Worth Killing For.
A Wyoming coalminer makes an impossible discovery: a human hand bone embedded within a forty-million-year-old coal seam.
Anthropologist Larry Krafter is sent to recover the specimen and unearths an even more explosive find—a perfectly preserved mineralized human skull. If verified, this evidence would shatter current theories of human evolution and rewrite history.
Instead of receiving acclaim, Krafter is immediately targeted by entrenched academic establishment interests who seek to discredit his evolutionary find using any means necessary. After surviving several intimidating incidents, Krafter is framed for murder, which brings the FBI onto the case. Squeezed by the incredulous media and targeted by his bitterest academic enemies, Krafter is forced to fight back. Aided by a hard-bitten expose writer, he embarks on a high-stakes media campaign to legitimize his discovery and expose his opponents.
The hitman delivers a terrifying ultimatum: declare the find a fraud or Krafter’s girlfriend dies. The FBI races to place her in protective custody, but the assassin makes one last, brutal attempt to silence Krafter. The hunt is now on for the hitman and the powerful, shadowy organization that is running him.
Towers of Darkness is an explosive mystery thriller and a compelling glimpse into the hidden world of academic infighting, scientific conspiracy, and the extreme lengths the establishment will go to preserve its position and reputation.
