As the mystery grows, a tragic scene unfolds in a Michigan forest elevating awareness of the situation to the highest levels of government. When a terror arises, when it is so menacing and imminent that stopping it supersedes the law itself, there is a clandestine team with the requisite skills which must be engaged. Only the president can call on them. They are the Three Ravens. When these three men are assembled to do a job, it means something awful is happening, the worst of the worst. It means the unthinkable is at your doorstep.
