Inside the Book

On a muggy spring afternoon in the rugged hill country of northeastern Pennsylvania, gunfire explodes from surrounding hillsides, and eight Union Army soldiers—escorting two wagons rigged with false bottoms to conceal a secret cargo—lay dead.

The massacre, carried out by a rogue military commander, triggers a series of events that lure burned-out Union spy Grant Bonner into one last mission—an intricate conspiracy of cold-blooded killing, a multi-million dollar gold heist, and the brazen theft of a priceless U.S. historical document.

When the mission is compromised, Bonner is ambushed, and left for dead, but he survives. During a long and painful recovery, he decides to abandon the assignment, and return home to resume a pre-war career. But, without warning, he's arrested, accused of killing several Union soldiers, and staging a daring train robbery.

One man can clear his name. But when they meet, something goes terribly wrong.

Undeterred by relentless odds, and a long journey not of his choosing, Bonner emerges from hiding to pursue an ambiguous clue that he hopes will lead him to the one person responsible for trying to destroy his life.

The hunted and the hunter are on a collision course, where each man will face the other and make his Last Stand At Bitter Creek.
