  Fifteen years before Sir Arthur Conan Doyle published A Study in Scarlet, Anna Katharine Green began writing The Leavenworth Case, inspiring the creation of detectives like Sherlock, Poirot, and Wimsey, as well as almost every device and convention we now recognize as standard in detective mystery fiction. 
  When her father's client is found murdered, Anna takes up the call to prove innocent the young girl accused of the murder. The investigation inspires many of the events, characters, and descriptions that would later be published in her debut novel. 
  A love letter to mystery and writing itself, A Deed of Dreadful Note is an homage and reintroduction to an author who was the Agatha Christie of her time but a forgotten female today. 
  This book is a fictionalized account of how Anna Katharine Green’s first novel may have come to be… 
  A Deed of Dreadful Note is Book One in the Anna Katharine Green Mysteries, the only historical fiction series featuring the Mother of Detective Fiction.

  "A FINELY CRAFTED SUPERNATURAL CRIME THRILLER... WITH RAZOR SHARP PROSE AND A BRISTLING ATMOSPHERE." -The BookLife Prize 
  A missing girl whose bloodline traces back to the Salem Witch Trials is the perfect prize for a demonic cult operating on the fringes of Salem’s witchcraft underground. 
  Desperate to find his missing niece, a Boston police captain loans his best detective, Ray Hanley, to Salem PD to lead the investigation. But tensions flare when Ray is partnered with Elena Martinez, a rookie detective who resents his intrusion on her first big case. 
  As they navigate a treacherous landscape of occult rituals and black magic, the horrific discovery of additional victims deepens the mystery and hints at a more sinister plot… one involving a powerful enemy whose secrets include ancestral ties, malevolent forces, and the fulfillment of a dark prophecy. 
  As the days count down to Halloween, the race is on to stop an unspeakable evil from plunging Salem into eternal darkness. 
  A National Indie Excellence Awards Finalist for Horror 
  From the award-winning author of THE ART OF DYING 
  Although THE BURYING POINT picks up where THE ART OF DYING leaves off, it follows Detective Ray Hanley on a completely new case that can be read as a standalone novel. 
  “An unpredictable blend of crime and horror… The Burying Point grabs from the first pages with crisp, focused prose and dialogue-driven scenecraft.” –BookLife Reviews (Editor’s Pick) 
  “A brilliant and unmissable dance with the devil. Salem witch lore has rarely been as terrifying as it is in The Burying Point.” –Bestthrillers.com 
  “[Cavignano’s] fictionalized version of Salem makes for a wonderfully spooky backdrop… An effectively atmospheric crime novel that pits no-nonsense cops against wicked Massachusetts magic.” –Kirkus Reviews

  FROM FORMER GREEN BERET AND USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR JASON KASPER 
   
  When elite CIA operative David Rivers and his paramilitary team are dispatched to the heart of Africa, their mission is clear: eliminate the notorious terrorist warlord, Chijioke Mubenga, before he can unleash chaos upon the world. 
   
  But fate has other plans. 
   
  A streak of anti-aircraft fire lights up the night sky, turning a covert parachute jump into a nightmare descent. Stranded miles from their rendezvous point and deep within a hostile jungle, Rivers and his team are cut off, hunted, and desperate. 
   
  In their quest for survival, they uncover a web of treachery that extends far beyond the Congo’s borders. As they close in on Mubenga, Rivers uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to reshape the very fabric of global security. 
   
  In a land where trust is a luxury and every path holds potential danger, Rivers must navigate his team through a maze of betrayal, drawing on every ounce of his skill, leadership, and instinct to outwit an enemy that always seems two steps ahead. The hunt is on … but in the Congo, nothing is as it seems. 
   
  And the cost of failure is unimaginable.
