Jake’s research on the Northumbrian King Aldfrith takes him to Elfrid’s Hole in North Yorkshire, where - as legend relates - the king sheltered after a bloody battle. What Jake doesn't realize is that his investigation has unleashed a series of deadly paranormal events, in which Jake himself becomes the prime suspect. Red Horse Vale: Aftering discovering his newfound powers, Jake Conley has gotten himself in a world of trouble. Now, after his cross-wired brain responds to psychometry in his childhood home, he sees his mother who had died young, and decides to go on holiday to the Cotswolds. But can he unravel the curse of the Red Horse Vale? Memory Of A Falcon: Entangled between the gods of the old world and an extremist group in the new, psychic Jake Conley is struggling to find a way to stop the zealots. When a conversion attempt leads Jake’s partner Liffi to erect a heathen temple to the old goddess Freya, the fanatics of Woden’s Brethren are furious. As their retaliation sets a string of terrorist atrocities in motion, Jake and Liffi are saved by the old goddess, but their differing philosophies begin to drive them apart. Torn between ways old and new, the two need to find a way to use their new powers and bring down the enemy. The Snape Ring: Something mysterious is loose in the British Museum, and a solution is needed. Something connects the events to malevolent forces that menaces a realm beyond our own. Only one man has the power to defeat this fearsome threat, so the Ministry of Defence engages psychic investigator Jake Conley to solve the mystery. Soon after, he discovers disturbing connections to the case, including murder. Pinions Of Gold: 674 AD. Werburgh, great-niece of the Abbess of Ely, travels by night to save the abbey's treasure under a wayside cross in the kingdom of Lindsey. A cryptic inscription on the back indicates the location of the magnificent treasure. Becoming a family heirloom, the dove resurfaces at different points in history, only to be buried again. Later in the 1930's, a ghost of a family member appears, sparking off an investigation by psychic investigator Jake Conley, who is called in to solve the mystery. Together with his wife, he sets off on search for the legendary treasure, and a trail of deaths that seems to be following it. The Serpent Wand: A sinister Masonic-Templar organization - The Brotherhood Of The Wand - is planning to bring the world to its knees and create a dystopian one-government world. The price? 80% of the world's population. To achieve this aim, they are planning to harness ley lines and other ancient earth energies to reawaken the Serpent: a mythical creature known to early civilizations by different names. On the winter solstice, an apocalyptic event is to take place, and the last line of defense against the evil organization is Jake Conley - a psychic investigator with powers of retrocognition, shapeshifting and intuition. The Beast Of Exmoor: MI5 has a task for psychic investigator Jake Conley: Operation Black Panther, a mission to obtain DNA from a beast in Exmoor. Meanwhile, wealthy arms manufacturer, Dr. Aubrey Drake, and the unhinged Major Lorimer infiltrate a top-secret military research station, dreaming of creating the ultimate soldier. Soon, Jake and his psychic powers are in their crosshairs. The odds are stacked against Jake, and he needs to tap into new areas of knowledge to defeat his enemies. But will it end in failure, as it logically should, or in a karmic payback?
