Red Farlow No. 6

CATAWBA FALLS

Red Farlow travels to Camp Ridgemont for Boys for a reunion with his summer camp friends. On arrival, he discovers two camp counselors have been found in the woods, hacked to death. Red’s investigation soon widens with more mysterious deaths, one of them a close friend.

 

Far-right extremist Troy Unsworthy knows the hills and hollows after a lifetime of growing up in these mountains. Red discovers all the victims are connected to Unsworthy from a deadly auto accident years earlier.

 

When he learns Unsworthy was released just before the counselors’ deaths, Red goes into the mountains. His trek requires sure-footedness over rocky terrain and old-growth forest as he explores caves with endless tunnels, shafts, and deep-water pools searching for his suspect.

 

But, did Unsworthy really murder these people, or should Red turn his attention to other suspects?

 

Red treads a treacherous path on his quest to find the killer and bring him to justice.
