Book Description
In a rural town there is an old, massive house which is said to be the home of ghosts and demons alike. It sits vacant, waiting for someone to dare enter its halls. Long ago it had seen its share of death. Townspeople are afraid to stay there, family members are terrified. Moving from the city, Edgar and Ahna move into the estate, looking for a quiet place to live and work. What they don't know, what they can't expect, is their life inside the house. It has secrets. Deep, dark, horrifying secrets that it wants people to find. As the couple settles into a lifestyle so different from the one they had know, they begin to unravel the mysteries of the estate. Little did they know they couldn't turn back. The more Edgar learned about the house, the more he needed to know. As he searched for the graves of three missing people, he had no idea he would uncover a mystery bigger than the one he was searching answers for. He had gotten himself into more than he bargained for as he realized only too late the battle taking place between good and evil. Was he going to be able to stop it?

Book Description
In the summer of 1923, the Honourable Daisy Dalrymple makes what should an uneventful research trip to the Museum of Natural History with her nephew Derek and her soon-to-be step-daughter Belinda in tow. But as she interviews the various curators for her article on the museums of London, she soon discovers that the Museum of Natural History is a hothouse of professional rivalry and jealousy, particularly between Dr. Smith Woodward, the Keeper of Geology - responsible for the fossil collection, and Dr. Pettigrew, the Keeper of Minerology - responsible for the Museum's fabulous gem collection. On a later trip, as closing time nears, Daisy hears two voices followed by a tremendous crash and rushes into the next hall to discover Dr. Pettigrew dead - murdered amidst a pile of dinosaur bones. Daisy's fiance, Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher of Scotland Yard, is assigned to investigate and together they must unravel a most baffling case of missing gems, dispossessed European royalty, professional rivalry and murder most foul.
