A new millennium has begun and brought with it challenges, opportunities, excitement, and, in one deadly event, terror. The Warrior Spirit Investigations team and their extensive circle of family and friends have seen many startling changes in their personal and professional lives. Marriages and partnerships have endured, and broken, and blossomed on the new horizon. Besides the stunning events that christened the new century there are secrets surrounding the clan that will have lifelong impacts in unexpected ways. A hidden group of people have come together to play a deadly game whose rules accommodate a lack of conscience down to sheer evil. One by one they target innocent individuals; they have a pattern whose theme would on first glance seem innocent but is anything but. Guided by sociopathy they feed on fear and soon enough come to feed on one another. Their actions draw in Memphis, Sage, and their team and associates, and the fates of the evildoers and those who battle to uncover and punish them become deeply intertwined. What no one expected as the pursuit began and continued was that a deep, dark secret hidden forty years earlier would explode into everyone’s lives with shocking revelations that would redefine the sense of safety and family that had been the backbone of the clan’s lives for decades. A shocking secret that no one saw coming. A secret with devastating consequences.

Selections from Santa Fe Secrets . . .WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH A PREGNANT SOLDIER?In the midst of World War II, the U.S. government sought a secret location for its efforts to build an atomic bomb. Project Manager Robert Oppenheimer selected Los Alamos, New Mexico, in the Jemez Mountains thirty miles west of Santa Fe as the perfect secret "middle of nowhere" spot.But not secret enough for the United States government! Those recruited to work on the project--from top scientists to dishwashers--were unaware of their final destination. They only received orders to report to a room at the back of Santa Fe's Trujillo Plaza on Palace Avenue. From here, they disappeared through a "secret portal" to Los Alamos--the back alley.Thousands of men, women, and children spent the war years as near-prisoners in that top-secret mountaintop military facility, lying to friends and family about where they were and what they were doing, even using aliases on rare trips to town.While Oppenheimer spread false rumors that the secret project was developing electric rockets, locals became convinced the isolated location was a hush-hush home for members of the Women's Army Corps who found themselves single and pregnant.ANY BODY HERE?Early Masons, along with the Odd Fellows fraternal organization, opened Santa Fe's first cemetery for non-Roman Catholics in 1853 on the site of today's Scottish Rite Cathedral. The cemetery closed in 1895. Officials had its graves carefully moved to other later-opened cemeteries--or so they claimed. However, skeletons still turn up here occasionally, as they do in much of Santa Fe! Tread lightly. Past centuries don't always stay buried in The City Different!DISCOVER MORE of Santa Fe's intriguing "skeletons" in SANTA FE SECRETS!
