• An anatomically perfect human jaw of diamond-hard quartz crystal is uncovered at an Ohio burial mound. Soon after, its three vendors are found dead.

• A new drug suspected of South American origin surfaces in Buffalo, NY. Its unprecedented psychotropic effects include the momentary activation of ESP.

• Blind, speechless, emaciated street people start appearing in many parts of the world. An urban legend-cycle attaches to them, as well as the name of a murderous old cult, “the Whistlers.”

• Government agents sent to rescue a beleaguered archaeological team in Peru come upon an ancient horror.

• A schoolteacher's book of upstate New York legends and folklore foreshadows these developments and more.

These are the threads — plus his affair with a maddening woman — that draw narrator Ward Courier into the international adventure, occultism, terror, Native American tradition, and onrushing prophecy that is Mason Winfeld's anticipated follow-up novel THE WHISTLERS: The Lord of the Dawn. By the time of its electrifying conclusion, we are ready to believe in a sinister conspiracy that could predate Atlantis and even hail from another world.
