River Runs Red

29p preview of River Runs Red by Jeffrey Mariotte

A CNN journalist kidnapped by insurgents in Iraq is held in a cavern prison, where he sees strange glowing images on the wall at night.

A reporter for a local independent weekly in El Paso, TX, finds herself strangely thrilled to cover murder stories, even while her beloved brother is dying in a nearby hospital room.

A CIA agent assigned to run Operation Moon Flash, the agency’s covert psychic investigations program, has to step in when his psychics start to die, one by one.

An anthropologist searches an ancient rock art site near a small Texas town on the Rio Grande, hoping to find clues to her father’s disappearance.

When these characters come together, they will confront their own pasts and each other, as combatants in a supernatural war spanning the eons and the continents, all linked by the raging currents of the world’s rivers…

River Runs Red is the second book in a loose trilogy, linked by theme and setting, following Missing White Girl and coming before 2009’s Cold Black Hearts. It’s a big, ambitious epic of a supernatural thriller combining elements of spy fiction (and fact) with flat-out horror. Character-driven and fast moving, River Runs Red has more unexpected twists and turns than a mountain stream.
