Watch out for the hidden things...
Calliope Jenkins runs a small private investigations firm with her best friend and ex-lover Josh White. When Josh is killed in the middle of a bizarre case, he leaves her a message from beyond the grave, "Watch out for the hidden things."
Calli's world gets even more bizarre when a homeless man begins to stalk her; insisting he can help her with Josh's homicide. Then he turns up at a bar dressed as a clown, introduces himself as Vikous, and tells her he knows that Josh told her to see the "fat man" and that he can take her to him. Despite her better judgment Calli lets Vikous take her to see the fat man.
Calliope embarks on an adventure into Hidden Lands, an alternate Midwest where legendary creatures roam. Her guide appears to be a homeless man who knows more than he should. And as he guides her on her journey, Calliope finds there is more magic hidden than this technological age could have ever believed. Hidden Things is an engaging murder mystery, wrapped in a edgy modern-day fairytale.
DOYCE TESTERMAN was born and raised in the wilds of South Dakota, where he began a lifelong love affair with the written word. He moved to Denver in 1995, and has since steadily ceded control of his weekends to two dogs, a brilliant wife, and two astounding children.
