UFOs, cattle mutilations and murder intertwine in this bizarre mystery that unites two unlikely allies against a wicked government conspiracy. A macabre triple murder at a remote farm shakes a small town when hired hand, Seth Cameron, claims that the victims died at the hands of inhabitants of a UFO. Compounding the mystery are several clinically dissected farm animals discovered at the murder scene. Most think Cameron snapped and went on a brutal killing spree, but Officer Ken Jackson has found evidence that suggests Cameron could be telling the truth. But Jackson has a problem. A government agent commandeers the investigation and covers up the evidence, leaving Jackson in danger if he chooses to divulge what he knows. Jackson enlists the help of Marcus Payne, an infamous, burned-out defense attorney on the brink of self-destruction. Together, they embark on a perilous journey to the truth. In the end, they may regret they did.

"Letters to a Rose" is a quickly paced, contemporary narrative that offers a glimpse of the latter 20th Century through the eyes of a child of the Sixties. At the center of this teetering universe is the story''s Everyman narrator, who paints vivid images of a troubled generation through entries into his personal journal and letters written to ''Rosie,'' his childhood sweetheart and lifelong friend. At one moment, readers find themselves moving casually through the serene waters of boyhood innocence, then shifting to the sudden, head-swirling terror in the steamy jungles of Vietnam, and ultimately returning to the dark, cynical age of self-indulgence that ushered in the 21st Century. Cahill''s unusual narrative style evokes the true horror of war, placing his readers in the saddle with the young helicopter door gunner as he struggles to survive over the Vietnam killing fields. Deeply rooted throughout this glimpse of a unique time in American history is the fragile nature of two human hearts beating a perfect rhythm in a dissonant generation that never quite found itself.
