Experience the creeping presence of violent terror stalking the world again--the lingering, angry power of the Satanic dead!
The Clemsworth Museum after midnight; a place empty of life but dripping with something more. A vault to be plundered by some, a house to be used for want of power by others. But for Godric Durst it is a location to be guarded in boredom, and for Adelheid Galli a paper-filled tomb to be organized for her career's sake.
Their haunt by night and very lives shall soon be infiltrated by terrible violence, imperiled by the insidious machinations of the living--and the dead!

Raven's Hollow (The Murder That Dismantled a Legacy)
Setting: A foggy countryside manor in 1930s England A murdered patriarch. A locked room. A crumbling legacy of secrets. When the powerful Lord Ravencourt is found dead inside his study...with the doors locked from the inside and a chess piece left in his hand...every heir becomes a suspect. Called out of retirement, famed detective Alaric Finch arrives at the windswept estate of Raven's Hollow to solve the impossible murder. But this house doesn't just hold secrets. It feeds on them. As the storm traps them inside, Finch uncovers something darker than murder: falsified bloodlines, a forgotten child, and a killer who's always one move ahead. One by one, the pieces fall. And with each revelation, the price of truth grows steeper. The murder dismantled a family. The truth might dismantle reality. For fans of Knives Out, The Haunting of Hill House, and Agatha Christie with bite. You won't sleep until the last piece is played. * This could have been a movie series if I had believed in it and submitted when my teacher, Sir Ronald, told me to. He saw something in it before I ever did. RIP, Sir Ronald. Thank you for believing in me before I knew how to believe in myself.Complete
