About this book:

**The border between Texas and Mexico is a lawless land of dust, heat, and desperate men—but something far older and hungrier lurks beneath the mud of the Rio Grande.**

When rigid Treasury Inspector Thomas Vance seizes a mysterious iron-bound chest from notorious smuggler Gabriel Caine at Devil’s Crossing, he expects contraband silk and tobacco. Instead, he finds a relic carved with ancient, writhing symbols—a box that bleeds black tar, scrapes from within, and draws the attention of something that has been waiting in the limestone caves for centuries. As a storm of unnatural darkness descends and the river itself begins to disgorge the dead, Vance and Caine must forge a brutal, reluctant alliance. Their only hope is to deliver the chest to a ruined church six miles north—if they can survive the night.

*Two at Devil’s Crossing* is a bone-chilling folk horror novel that pits iron will against primeval terror. Perfect for fans of *The Terror* and *The Ritual*, it’s a story of old gods, impossible bargains, and the thin line between duty and survival—where the true evil doesn’t wear horns, but waits in the mud, patient and hungry.
