Here's the set-up:
A man with no known past and no name as been dispatched to the deserts,
ghost towns, and underbelly of drug-infested Arizona to uncover a secret
that could forever change the scope and teachings of Christianity.
A DEA agent has written that he possesses the unmistakable and undeniable proof that Christ did indeed return to earth again and walk the land of the Aztecs almost fifteen hundred years after his crucifixion on the cross. But has the agent found a relic? An artifact? A long lost manuscript of the written Word? No one knows, and the agent dies before he can smuggle the secret out of an empty grave.
Andrews St. Aubin can't dig past the charred fragments of his memory, but he must unravel the legend of Quetzalcoatl, the white-skinned, blue-eyed, god figure whose sixteenth century ministry, death, resurrection, and mystical promise to return someday to gather up his people closely parallels the Biblical story of the man called Christ. Is Quetzalcoatl merely a myth, or was he Christ himself?
In St. Aubin's quest to find the answers, he becomes involved in a rogue CIA plot to invade Mexico and wage an unholy war on drugs. He finds himself pursued by the same mysterious assassin who struck down the DEA agent.
Does the artifact actually exist? Who possesses it now? St. Aubin battles an unseen and unknown enemy in an effort to survive long enough to discover the truth. If he doesn't, he knows that death awaits him on the desert sands of a land held sacred for centuries by the mysterious and holy ones.

One Reviewer Notes:
A man, a mystery unto himself, is sent to solve mysteries. He is accompanied by a ghost he doesn't recognize any more that the face that he finds in the mirror. From this shaky foundation, he is sent without a clue to find a murderer and a missing artifact. Somehow, the author finds a way for this unlikely hero to solve the mysteries, all of them except one. Who is he? This story is believable. It's eloquently written. It's narrative sings. If this isn't enough for you to decide, there is little else I can say to convince you to read Place of Skulls, for that is my intent.
