Mel's Hole An Endless Mystery

In early 1997, a man named Mel Waters called into a late-night syndicated radio show to make the claim that he had an "endless hole" on his property in the mountains of Eastern Washington that measured more than 80,000 feet deep. That phone call would lead to a wild turn of events that saw the government get involved, money change hands, and eventually something much more sinister occur. Did Mel discover the fate of our species? Or was it just a tall tale with a bizarre string of coincidences to back it up? Author Christopher Hayden digs into the mystery in this novel that covers the phone calls, details, misconceptions, and theories of Mel's Hole.
