Synopsis

When Adam is retained to confirm the veracity of a young heiress's family tree, it sounds like the simple case he needs to break the monotony of life on a Mediterranean island. But it soon becomes clear that others wish to stake a claim to the girl's fortune, sponsored by an organization with one foot in the occult.

And something as inconvenient as a private investigator will not stand in their way.

As this group calls upon a shadowy killer known as the Pale Boy, Adam's attention turns to the girl herself, learning her illness is viewed by some as "possession" by a spirit intent on righting wrongs from Porajmos, or "the Devouring," the Romani genocide inflicted by Nazi Germany. And even those who profess to represent her may not hold her best interests at heart.

Delving into a decades-old secret that people will murder to protect, Adam must fight smart and fight hard—against a seemingly supernatural mercenary, against people of unfathomable greed, and against his own darkening nature.

About A.D. Davies

A. D. Davies grew up in Leeds, West Yorkshire. In high school his ambition was to be a writer of horror novels, although in adult life he became an avid fan of crime fiction. After a long stint in an unsatisfying job, he attended the University of Leeds where he attained a degree in creative writing.

Now writing novels, his signature style involves placing characters in dangerous, heightened situations, where violence isn't constant, but when it does surface, there are always consequences. When a character gets hit, it hurts; when a gun is fired, it's always a big deal; and killing isn't something people do lightly.

A. D. Davies is well-travelled, his favourite destinations being New Zealand and Vietnam, which have influenced his writing immensely, especially obvious in his novel Twilight Burning, to be released early summer 2015.

For now, however, globe-trotting is taking a back-seat to raising his two children and writing, although he hopes to one day combine all three.

He now resides in Staffordshire, UK, with his wife and two children.
