Prologue

Summer 2000

The slamming of a truck door echoed through the dark woods, followed by the sharp report of a barking dog. The unexpected noises sent a wave of panic through him. His plan didn’t allow for any interruptions. Daylight was less than an hour away, and he wasn’t quite ready to leave. He brushed the sweat off his forehead and cursed the humid Missouri weather under his breath. Once the rays of the rising sun touched the lake, swarming mosquitoes would descend with a vengeance, heaping more misery on an already-godforsaken night.
