THE BOY WHO HATED HALLOWEEN

As a boy, Ricky Piper hid his ability to see the greenjacks — tiny elemental creatures who tormented him throughout his childhood, and stole the soul of his twin brother Robin one Halloween night. Afraid he was going crazy, Ricky suffered silently until he was old enough to leave.

Now a widower, Rick has returned at long last to claim his family home and build a new life with his own two children, secure in the knowledge that the greenjacks were only figments of his imagination, born of the vicious torments he’d suffered at the hands of his brother.

But Rick can still see and hear them — and they remember him, too. They won’t let him escape again. And, this time, they don’t just want him; they want his children.

Artfully intertwining a terrifying mystery and edge-of-your-seat suspense with a gritty Cold War setting, Evil Trust is the newest supernatural horror novel by the bestselling author of The Evil Inside and The Haunting Of Bridge Manor.

Professor Erich Hasse is no stranger to the supernatural. After he tracks an evil presence to a decrepit printing building in war-torn East Germany, his investigation quickly turns south. The Stasi arrive with a firm warning: drop the investigation, or else.

Brittany Delschaft is terrified she’s losing her mind. She’s plagued by ominous dreams, supernatural happenings, and a ghostly presence in the shadows of her home. When Brittany’s family appeal to Hasse, he agrees to help – and he quickly makes a shocking discovery about Brittany.

Convinced that the young girl could be the key to facing whatever is concealed within the printing building, Erich and Brittany are quickly embroiled in a dangerous hunt for the truth.

The Stasi are guarding something far too carefully – but when Erich discovers the terrifying reality, he’ll wish he hadn’t...

There is a crime war brewing in the city between the old guard and the new. Harrison Crane has stood atop the food chain for as long as anyone can remember, but now the self proclaimed voodoo princess Imatitkua Dossou and her Baka Boys are making a play for Crane’s territory. A woman steeped in myth and legend is using black magic superstition to chip away at Crane’s empire as the brutal animalistic murders of Crane’s men are committed across his territory.

Caught in the middle of this lives Lewis Stone a childhood friend of Crane and once a boxer who almost rose to the top before being forced to take a dive in what should have been his biggest night.

Now Stone lives in self imposed isolation deep inside the police no go area known as The Burrows but his existence is dragged back into the spotlight when he reluctantly agrees to help an out of town and out of her depth mother searching for her teenage daughter.

He takes payment to find the girl but his amateur investigation puts him into direct danger with both the police and his criminal neighbours as he wades through the underworld trying to stay alive while searching for the truth. But it is a truth shrouded in blood, death and mystery and one that he may regret looking for.

With the bodies mounting and time running out Stone is peeling back layers of the rotten city’s underbelly exposing secrets and betrayals that will shock him to his very core as an impossible killer wreaks havoc. He is an out of shape, bitter, loner, ex-boxer who has spent the past two decades living as a ghost in the city but maybe, just maybe if he can save the girl then he might be able to save himself.

Sometimes the most unlikeliest of horrors requires the most unlikeliest of heroes.
