Sinopsis

The Second World War was fought not only on the front lines but also in secrets, some of which have never been revealed. One such secret was buried in the deep, dark forest of Katyn, Poland. The other in the pages of a notebook hidden in an otherwise unremarkable café in an ancient Polish city.
		 
That notebook, known as the Scottish Book, was an obscure work of intellectual gamesmanship between a specialized group of mathematicians who met at a local pub near the town’s medieval university, where they shared and solved complex mathematical problems in the pages of the book. In 1939, as the Nazis overran the country, the book mysteriously vanished from its hiding place in the café. Some of its contributors avoided certain death by fleeing Poland  for America, where the government recruited them. Ultimately, some of these intellectuals became participants in a deadly undertaking: the Manhattan Project.
		 
Who Has Buried the Dead? may be fiction, but it draws on years of research to plausibly answer the real questions surrounding one of the last great secrets of the Second World War. What did the Scottish Book contain that led the NKVD, the Gestapo, and the Allies on a desperate search, using any means to find it? Why has its existence not factored into the telling of Second World War history? What is ultimately revealed within the Scottish Book that brought mortal enemies and their top spy operatives into a deadly contest for its discovery and seizure?

    Meet SAGE POE—witch, supernatural consultant, and woman who really should have stayed home for that romantic picnic. She thought the biggest danger in a peaceful meadow would be mosquitoes and bad s'mores. She thought wrong. 
     
    When a viral YouTuber turns up dead from "equipment failure" that screams sabotage, Sage finds herself investigating a community where everyone's got secrets and grudges run deeper than their Instagram feeds. 
     
    Armed with magical abilities that are more useful for detecting lies than preventing murder, a family of equally sarcastic witches, and enough supernatural drama to fuel a reality show, Sage must uncover the truth before the killer strikes again. 
     
    Enter SHERIFF EMMET QUILL—small town lawman who's gotten surprisingly good at dealing with magical mayhem and the woman who brings it wherever she goes. He may not fully understand her world, but he's learned to trust her instincts . . . and her ability to tackle killers in burning buildings. 
     
    As the van life community turns into a deadly game of survival, Sage realizes that in a world where your safety equipment might be your murder weapon, trust is the most dangerous luxury of all.

    Uneasy Spirits Excerpt: Annie Fuller takes a break from investigating a fraudulent trance medium in order to take a walk with two of her two boarders, Barbara and Jamie Hewitt, and their Boston Terrier, Dandy. Halloween is fast approaching and they have stopped to get some pumpkins when disaster strikes––an accident that, without Dandy’s intervention, could have been deadly.

Ian Hennessey, a poor boy from South of Market, who is trying to shoulder a man’s responsibilities, gets in trouble, and his best friend, Jamie Hewitt, does what he can to help. But it is Jamie’s young Boston Terrier, Dandy, who saves the day. 
    Dandy’s Discovery: Something odd is happening at the O’Farrell Street boardinghouse, and Annie is worried that her new baby might be in danger. But never fear, Dandy, the Boston Terrier, will discover the culprit and all will be well.

    Book 1: From a Dead Sleep - There are times when the truth invites evil, and there are times when the truth can get you killed. Book 2: Blood Trade - Sometimes blood is thicker than life. Book 3: Broken Slate - Be careful the legacy you wish for.“John Daly has a magical writing style, and his books keep you up late at night turning pages... You won’t want to put it down.”— Dana Perino, former White House Press Secretary / co-host of The Five“…I’ve become persuaded that nobody today tells a story quite like John A. Daly. From the very moment you pick one [of his books] up, it takes all the willpower you can muster just to put it down.”— Bob Burg, bestselling co-author of the ‘Go-Giver’ series"For a self-described ‘rent-a-cop security guard,’ Sean Coleman is a particularly human and relatable hero – plenty of flaws and rough around the edges, but heroic for the way he carries on, despite all the baggage of his mistakes and hard lessons learned. I think what impresses me the most about John Daly as a writer is his range."— Jim Geraghty, National Review; author of the Dangerous Clique thriller series
