Book Description
When retired Southern sheriff-turned-New York City detective John Le Brun and his wife, Lordis, set sail in 1910 for a long-awaited honeymoon on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, they expect to find relaxation in paradise. However, they soon discover they’ve been lured to the island in part to tout its attributes as a burgeoning vacation retreat to wealthy investors back home. Instead of finding tranquility among the tropical isle’s quaint villages and sandy beaches, they encounter a land teeming with racial, social, and economic tension. The brutal murders of a local plantation owner’s family find John putting his renowned detective skills to use, with Lordis readily playing assistant. Once again, the shrewd detective must capitalize on his “outsider” status to stay several steps ahead of the locals, many of whom seem to harbor dark motives. Is the culprit one of the white landowners the exclusive St. Lucia Island Club counts among its membership; the descendants of former African slaves said to inhabit the island’s inland jungles; or someone else entirely? As the body count rises, John and Lordis race to uncover St. Lucia’s deepest mysteries, including secret identities, long-held rivalries, and who stands to profit most from the island’s future. The St. Lucia Island Club paints a vivid portrait of the Caribbean island’s scenic beauty and complicated history at the turn of the twentieth century.

Book Description
THE LEGENDS DON'T DIE … No one alive knows more about legendary Ireland and its people than American archaeologist Keenan MacBreed. Yet what he is about to undergo lies far beyond the knowledge of any mortal soul. MacBreed is vacationing in his ancestral home to explore his Celtic roots—only to discover a timeless evil uprooted from deep within the earth. … AND THE DEAD DON'T DIE Outside the small town of Carrick-on-Suir, in burial grounds older than a millennium, beneath elaborately ornamented stone crosses that speak of lost but awesome rituals … they have arisen. Victims of an age-old savagery as terrifying as their powers of magic, they're women who seek to cloak their dry, bleached bones with the flesh of the living, then free hundreds of others of their clan from the black, dirt-choked sleep of centuries. Desperate to stop them, and guided only by a hobbled old woman whose eccentricities mask a source of mystical strength all her own, MacBreed takes one bold step beyond the world of the rational—into a realm of ancient sorcery more potent, more horrifying than death itself.
