Interment tells the story of four college friends who form a backpacking club. Each year they gather to lay out maps of National parks and Forest lands, to choose the most remote spot, furthest from civilization, for their annual Summer Solstice trip. They've enjoyed these excursions for several years, until one year, everything changes. A mystery, a murder, and a strange conspiracy theory emerge out of their innocent annual outing. Out of the hills of the Ozarks comes a threat to our national security. The friends find out how little they really know about each other, when buried memories, and family secrets emerge unexpectedly, and challenge them to their emotional limits. They find that protecting each other from an unknown enemy, strikes uncomfortably close to home, as this force who seeks their destruction, is also planning the demise of our own country. The future of our Nation may just rest in their hands. Their Friendships form in graduate school, where two are architects, and two are law students. Mason Gold is a gifted designer from Alabama, who navigates through life by his intuitive powers . Katherine Gillen is a native New Yorker from the Upper East Side. She felt inspired to study architecture by the landscape of her birth city, but fell in love with the mountains and wide open spaces of Colorado. Her roomate, Jane Brown, a native American transplant from the South, is both a law student and a Triathelon athlete. The Harvard graduate, now a Law Student at CU, Griffin McNoble, otherwise known as "Bear," has little to no respect for authority. He challenges it every chance he gets. It is his show of disrespect to the " wrong parties" that starts their journey into the back hills of the Ozarks, where they become enveloped them into a series of events that leads to the discovery of a force darker, and more deadly, than any "simple murder."This novel puts the quote, " There are no coincidences" to the test, BIG TI
