The Author

History isn't buried.
It's waiting to be found.

David R Leng grew up in the shadow of real history — surrounded by the battlefields, buried legends, and forgotten conspiracies of southwestern Pennsylvania and western Maryland. He's an avid scuba diver who has explored wrecks not unlike the ones his characters hunt.

"Leng's underwater sequences shimmer with claustrophobic beauty, while his command of pacing turns every page into a tightening coil."
