The Man
The second part of our story takes us back in time to the origins of the Valley of Fear. In the American West, we meet a man named Jack McMurdo, who has a murky past and a quick temper. He is on his way to the mining town of Vermissa, though his purpose in going there remains unclear. McMurdo's fate is entwined with the events of Birlstone, so settle in under the covers and let this week's take your mind on a journey into rest and relaxation.
