C." to his friends and "Crease" to his teammates) and the rest of his Military Intelligence unit to investigate. What they find lurking in the shadows of that quiet little city defies belief.

THE TEMPLE OF CAMAZOTZ - Headless bodies are turning up along the Mexican border. The Mexican government blames overzealous US Border guards. The border guards blame drug runners.

Someone is fanning the flames of that superstition, and the piles of bodies continue to grow. Geoffrey Bullfinch, folklorist, dabbler in the occult, and Wendell "Mack" Macklemore, computer genius and extreme sports enthusiast are called down to investigate.
