Keepers

"The Keepers are coming..." The last words of a man who died in the middle of a highway through Cedar Hill, Ohio, still echo in Gil Stewart's ears when he discovers a dying dog in his front yard. At the same moment a package arrives on his doorstep. A package holding hope that a past young love might not be lost after all. The Keepers are coming, and they're bringing with them memories Gil has spent most of a lifetime forgetting, memories leaking through fractures in his psyche. The Keepers are coming, and the animals - the harbingers - are acting strange. The Keepers are coming. But from where? And why? Before the day is over, Gil will have the answers, and the world he thought he knew will be irrevocably altered.
