Vengeance of the Vanished Ones: Book One

"In Vengeance of the Vanished Ones, don't miss this trip into Baja where mining interests and the need to preserve sacred rock paintings clash violently. Move over, Indiana Jones!" -Warren C. Easley, author of the Cal Claxton Mysteries

Discovering the meaning of the mysterious, ancient rock art of Baja has obsessed archaeologist Marcos Andersson for decades. While investigating the macabre death of Davis Pearce on site, Marcos suspects it's connected to the rock art, but before he can prove it, he gets dragged into the spirit world where Davis languishes. He happens to meet psychiatrist-psychic Susan Cohen who guides Marcos to some understanding of the art as they explore more sites, pile up deaths, encounter vengeful spirits, and fall in love. It's complicated by local schemes to profit off the mineral deposits accompanying the rock art sites and the secrets both Marcos and Susan keep from each other.

Vengeance of the Vanished Ones, Book One, is a fictional action-adventure based on an existing archaeological mystery and real archaeologists. Lee Orlich Bertram leaves readers begging for Book Two as Marcos struggles at every twist and turn to find the meaning of the rock art and his life.
