Brennan Cole

Brennan Cole is a fifteen year old boy. Brennan likes to run. Brennan's home life is difficult. Brennan's mother is a single mother and she works most of the time, leaving Brennan home alone. When his mother is not working, she brings men home with whom she hopes to have a relationship, but they often end up breaking her heart and leaving her alone. It is this situation Brennan tries to avoid. Brennan does not like the way his mother seems desperate to have a man in her life and how she becomes depressed when a man leaves her.

Brennan is a responsible, strong young man who works hard. Brennan is dependable and intelligent. When Brennan finds a skull in a canyon outside of El Paso, he knows he should tell the police. However, Brennan instinctively knows the skull is too old to be a recent crime...
