  Detective Kate Morgan is stumped, trying to decide when a case is really a case and when it belongs on her desk or someone else’s. She’s homicide and this? … This is something else, right? Following up the leads doesn’t help, only confuses the issue—until someone slips up or slips away literally.Simon wakes, choking on water, drowning in the darkness of his night, struggling to understand what madness he is connecting to now. As usual, he has few answers, and the ones he does find make no sense. Add in a young man in desperate need of assistance—yet hiding something—has Simon caught up trying to help someone, who maybe doesn’t want help in the first place.​​As Kate works her way through the details of multiple cases—or not cases—the realization is worse than anyone had realized.

  ROOM OF DEATH – Here Today and Gone Tomorrow 
  BOOK 1 of 3 in the DEMON GORGE TRILOGY 
  “Samuel Knight’s body was stolen from the house,” the policeman said in an awe-inspiring tone. 
  “Samuel Knight’s body was stolen! Impossible!” Jackson replied. 
  “Yes. You didn’t hear of it?” 
  “Hear of it?” Jackson echoed. “No! I haven’t heard of it whatsoever. I can’t believe it. God, Samuel’s body, was stolen. It sounds impossible to me. Do you have any clue who stole it?” 
  “We don’t know. It was lying in state in the living room at the home, awaiting the undertaker to pick it up.” 
  “Wasn’t the body watched?” 
  “No. Why should it be watched? Who would have supposed for one single minute someone would come and steal the body?” 
  “We don’t have any idea. Tim Collins, the undertaker, arrived this morning and found the body gone. One of the windows was open in the room, and Doctor Clair was the only one with a key.” 
  “Any theories on who might have done something like that?” 
  “The Chief thinks someone hid under the table with a big cloth hanging to the floor draped over it. So, someone hid under the cloth until all was quiet and the door locked and then came out, stole the body, and went out the window.” 
  “I’ve never heard of anything like this in all my life,” exclaimed Jackson.
