The Sad Night

Dan Holliday receives a worn child's copybook in the mail, a harmless little thing that turns out to be the key to a dangerous mystery reaching back to an archaeologist who vanished years earlier. When two strangers posing as grieving parents demand the book, Holliday realizes someone wants it badly enough to break in, threaten, and even kill. As he digs deeper with the help of a young woman connected to the case, he uncovers a trail of deception tied to Aztec history, a vanished expedition, and a secret someone is desperate to claim. What begins as a puzzled look at a schoolchild's scribbles becomes a tense chase for the truth hidden behind the words The Sad Night.
