Description

Horace Chase has been chasing ghosts his entire life. First, his Medal-of-Honor winner father who died in Vietnam without ever meeting his son. And left him the legacy of an automatic appointment to the Military Academy at West Point which shaped the next thirty-five years of Chase's life. Then, the ghost of his mother, who died while he was at war in Afghanistan and wounded, causing him to resign his commission and return to the United States, a lost soul. Chase now wears two hats as a Federal counter-terrorism liaison to the local police department in Boulder, Colorado where he becomes embroiled in two seemingly un-related cases. Working as a detective with Boulder PD he chases another death, this one the apparent rape/murder of Rachel Stevens, an upscale housewife attending night classes at the University of Colorado. And with his counter-terrorism team he is embroiled in a series of killings involving a militia group, a rogue ex-Special Forces officer, a psychopathic ex-CIA contract mercenary, and ruthless drug runners. Chase's paths of inquiries lead him from a posh country-club to the inside of a swinger's club; from the thrill of catching Rachel's killer to the despair of realizing might have made one of the biggest mistakes in his professional life in doing so; and ultimately to finding out that the two apparently un-related cases had much more to do with each other than anyone could have imagined. And that Rachel Stevens death unleashed a torrent of deception, revenge, torture and killing that spanned years and continents and peels away the secret of a CIA 'witness protection program' inside our own country. Chasing the Ghost brings Horace Chase full circle into facing the reality of the ghosts in his own life.
