Canto leveled a cold glare at her and said the one thing that changed everything. “Harskill.”

Now she must unravel the arcane mystery while surviving attacks from bizarre monstrosities. Her struggle leads her into a world hiding just beneath the curtain of our own - an underworld of vicious creatures and dark magic. A world in which her own family is not what they appear.  One where her only savior may be her deadliest enemy.

 

She better come up with answers soon because more than one life may hangs in jeopardy.

It was supposed to be a new beginning - good job, good pay, and a lovely home in North Carolina.

 

But when Max Porter discovers his office is haunted by the ghost of a 1940s detective, he is thrust neck-deep into a world of old mysteries and dangerous enemies.

 

One in which ghosts, witches, curses, and spells exist. One in which a simple research job can turn deadly.

"From the beginning I knew I had a good book in my hands. The description and opening told me everything I needed to get into the plot and live the characters life with him. It only took two or three pages to suck me into a feeling of an old white and black Noir movie." - Mordkan, an Amazon reader
