The UFO Gambit

The truth is out there.  So are the lies.

Cowboy & cool detective, Jack de Sombras, scoffs at Little Green Men.  He's too busy protecting people from the things they should fear — violent cults, creepy hauntings, and treasonous politicians.  But when a dead woman and a pair of mummified aliens turn up, even Jack wants to believe.

     Someone in the mountain is watching him.

     Whatever's out there won't leave his valley alone.

With his partner Tessa Lancing — brilliant and clairvoyant — Jack dives into a mystery tangled in memory, coverups, and ghosts of his past.  Aliens?  Or something far worse?

     Some knowledge is meant to stay classified.

     Some truths should stay buried.

     And some lies … kill.

"MacArthur's ability to evoke vivid imagery is a highlight … (and) will appeal to fans of dark fantasy and supernatural thrillers who enjoy complex characters and intricate plot twists." ~ Literary Titan, 2025
