Jack

J.S. Parker

Summary

Following two brutal years of torture and confinement in Bedlam's asylum for the insane, Jack Thorne has escaped his cell and has fled to Victorian era Gotham City.
 
Upon his arrival, a new string of "Ripper style" murders commence...ones Jack himself has no earthly knowledge of.
 
Back in his homeland, a rookie British cop is put on the now cold case...the very infamous one stemming from the "canonical five" butcherings in Whitechapel in the late year of 1888. Soon the detective teams up with a beautiful American journalist who is working abroad, and upon learning of the new string of murders in Gotham, they set out to catch the taunting Ripper's trail.
 
Ultimately, in the face of his many demons, Jack must race against time to prove his innocence...or find his hidden truths more sinister than they seem.

The Tree on the Hill

H. P. Lovecraft, Duane W. Rimel

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. In a desolate, sun-scorched valley near Hampden, a lone wanderer comes upon a grotesque, twisted tree crowning a barren hill—and is gripped by a dread he cannot explain. When he photographs the strange oak, the developed images reveal not the world he knows, but an alien landscape blazing beneath three suns. Drawn deeper with his occultist friend Constantine Theunis and the forbidden pages of the Chronicle of Nath, he edges toward a truth no human mind was meant to glimpse. Steeped in cosmic horror, "The Tree on the Hill" is classic Lovecraft: the slow, dawning terror of realizing that our reality is only a thin veil drawn over something vast, ancient, and utterly indifferent.

Are some souls not meant to be saved?

Psychic medical intuitive and licensed physician Madeleine Wagner thought she'd seen every way possible to heal a diseased body. But, when her patients begin dying from mysterious causes, Maddy realizes she might be dealing with an evil force that may be outside her ability to cure.

Maddy's medical facility, Maddy's Floor, has helped countless terminally-ill patients to miraculously live. Now something malevolent has taken up residence on the ward. Not sure how to deal with this on her own, she calls on her psychic friend and mentor, Stefan. Together, they delve beyond the physical plane into the metaphysical, and find utter terror.

With two family members in Maddy's care, Detective Drew McNeil finds himself wondering frequently during his visits about the woman and not just the miracle worker. Who takes care of this selfless soul who gives everything she has to save every single patient? When does she ever allow herself to rest, relax, and live? The more time he spends with her, the more he wants to get to know her privately.

Bizarre events in Maddy's facility draw Drew's professional curiosity. Several intersect with one of his cold cases, causing him to wonder if an old killer has been resurrected, literally. If so, Maddy's directly in the path of danger.

A Cloister Mystery

The abbess says it's the Devil. 
Hildegard suspects something worse. 
Something local.
