    The themes that thread through these nine accomplished stories are drawn from the great tradition of the twentieth-century weird tale, and they are suffused with a distinctly cosmopolitan, European feel. Mark Samuels writes about the fundamental fears of modern life, especially the effects of isolation and the dislocation that city dwellers can experience in their inhospitable, man-made environment.
    The Impasse: The Ulymas Organisation was located in a sprawl of dilapidated buildings on the far west side of the city. None of the structures were more than four floors high and the exteriors were of bland, whitewashed brickwork, the paint flaking away from the walls.

    The White House claims credit for capturing the Black Widow and gives SHIELD an ultimatum, which has Aja questioning whose side the President is on. 
    Aja and her SHIELD colleagues successfully captured the Black Widow and her associates on their last mission. However, the White House has forbidden them, along with the CIA and FBI, from any further involvement in investigating, identifying, or prosecuting the multitude of high-speed rail service customers who exploited underage children. 
    The message was loud and clear. Find a new case or SHIELD will be decommissioned and its agents considered as traitors, charged with treason, and imprisoned. So what choice did they have? As SHIELD leadership works to identify their next case, Aja is not feeling as cooperative. But the moment she delves a little too deeply into why the White House is against their involvement, she mysteriously disappears. 
    Has Aja gone rogue and fled to protect her colleagues? Or has the White House caught wind of her actions and locked her away? Or, as the Black Widow predicted, has the President made her disappear in a more permanent manner? 
    Aja Minor: Dirty Politics is the eighth book in the Aja Minor psychic crime thrillers series. Fans of fierce female protagonists with unique powers who overcome adversity will find a home in this series. 
    A portion of the proceeds from this series are donated to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, established in 1984 to help find missing children, reduce child sexual exploitation, and prevent child victimization.

As the two sit upon a weathered tomb, Carter tells Manton the tale of an indescribable entity that allegedly haunts the house and surrounding area...
