The Clearing: The DSA Season One, Book One (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781944965174)

The residents of Bellbrook, Ohio have vanished.

Seven thousand people in a four-mile radius disappeared overnight. A dead zone remains, no outgoing signals emanating from the ghost town.

Ben Riley, framed for a crime he never committed, is the latest recruit to the Department of Special Assignments--a secret agency handling unsolved cases, those with open questions and unexplainable circumstances. Unsure what to expect or whether or not he deserves this second chance, Ben is thrust into a bizarre case of science gone wrong.

Now, Ben and the rest of the field team must find out what happened to the residents of Bellbrook...before it happens to them.

Welcome to the DSA, the all-new sci-fi conspiracy thriller from Lou Paduano, author of the urban fantasy thriller series, Greystone.
