The Dissappeared
Christopher**Title: The Serpent’s Knot** In the rugged terrain of Texas Hill Country, Texas Ranger Harper Mills is haunted by the unsolved murder of his sister, Sarah, twelve years ago. The narrative ignites with the discovery of a young woman's body, eerily staged with a silver bracelet inscribed with celestial symbols—the fourth in a series of ritualistic murders tied to astronomical events. As Harper delves deeper into the case, he infiltrates the Talon, a criminal syndicate smuggling stolen artifacts, searching for connections to the killer. Teaming up with an astrophysicist, he uncovers a sinister pattern linking the bracelets to ancient Mayan mythology and a larger conspiracy involving corrupt police officers, including betrayal from his own team. When the killer, Dr. Julian Thorne, plans a cataclysmic event aligned with a rare celestial phenomenon, Harper confronts him at a remote observatory. Amidst the chaos, Harper must navigate a web of betrayal and grief while seeking justice, redemption, and healing from his haunted past.
