Scott Cagle Image
Speculative thriller traces a decades-old mystery with modern-day consequences.
ATLANTA, GA - November 13, 2025 - Georgia-based marketing professional and first-time author Scott Cagle has officially launched his debut novel, RIFT [https://scottcagle.com/about-the-book/], a speculative thriller that investigates what happens when fragments of history resurface in the present. Combining science, history, and mystery, the novel introduces readers to a world where timelines blur and long-buried secrets refuse to stay hidden.
The story begins in 1997 with the mysterious disappearance of Atlanta police officer John Cooper while responding to a report of a loose tiger. Twenty-five years later, Dr. Kaori Tsunaki, a veterinary pathologist, is called to New Mexico to examine what is believed to be a rogue elephant carcass. Instead, she uncovers the remains of a creature extinct for more than 200 million years.
As ancient predators appear in modern neighborhoods and reality itself begins to distort, Tsunaki is drawn into a network of hidden truths. Joined by her former partner Alicia Taylor and conspiracy theorist James Wyatt, she unravels a cover-up stretching back decades and confronts a central dilemma: can preserving hope ever justify unleashing horror?
"I've always been fascinated by the strange and unexplained," said Cagle. " RIFT grew from that curiosity-exploring what happens when history doesn't stay buried, and the cost of hiding the truth can sometimes outweigh the truth itself."
RIFT is available in paperback and eBook formats through major book retailers, including Amazon [https://www.amazon.com/RIFT-Scott-Cagle/dp/B0FK1FR19L/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Dd2aMCbIA4cVJjxdply6ZVX637InIbtKXROcaccbTvaRc1ePzdNT2z3RUeHW8t2saz1MKPPV1W3_GvdBuGS1eEHgbF-BHBWdH6AZXU8-v3p16eSIwG5zvzksoOzIriOk.W16cZ0eq-oflUcLPP-fmYBdES_k0OqriD3qD1GwFcec&dib_tag=se&qid=1753785713&refinements=p_27%3AScott+Cagle&s=books&sr=1-1&text=Scott+Cagle] and Barnes & Noble.
