After a sleepless weekend waiting for his family to return from a trip, Rick Morrow opened his front door to three government officials. "Your wife and daughter are dead," they told him. "Unfortunately, what happened is classified. Beyond what we say today, no court, no agency, no official can tell you anything else."Nearly two and a half years later, Rick has left his old life behind in a quest to discover the truth about that night. Meanwhile, with the economy in its eleventh year of a depression, a federal government riddled with corruption is now using federal troops to help quell public unrest. But there's hope. The Constitution is still the law of the land. A strong minority of rule-of-law proponents still comprises important positions in the Justice Department. One of these is retired federal investigator Liam Channing, who may be the key to unlocking the truth behind Rick's family tragedy. On the road to find Channing, Rick meets Nikolette Allen, a young woman uncertain about a career in Washington serving a government she no longer trusts. Deeply moved by Rick's plight, Nikolette joins Rick as they meet Channing, who agrees to help them discover the truth. He sends them on a journey across the country to meet contacts with information that will help unravel the mystery. Brad Keena masterfully weaves together the intricate plot of The Volcano Dancer as Rick and Nikolette learn Channing has uncovered a hidden agency with ties to torture and state-sponsored slavery. Is this the organization responsible for the deaths of Rick's wife and daughter? A story of hope and persistence, The Volcano Dancer is the journey of two unlikely companions discovering each other's hidden strengths as they make an arduous climb from tragedy to ultimate justice.
