Synopsis

Desperate to find a cure for his dying wife, Ashley, David becomes obsessed with the legendary Grand Grimoire - an ancient text rumored to contain forbidden rituals for summoning demonic entities to do one's bidding.

Against Ashley and son Henry's protests, David performs the ritual to conjure Lucifuge Rofocale, a powerful infernal spirit, and the Prime Minister of Hell, who is said to preside over all the world's treasures.
Though initially appearing in David's hour of need to promise renewed life in exchange for loyalty, Lucifuge's offer comes at a costly price no family should pay.

It soon becomes clear that the pact has allowed the cunning Lucifuge entrance into their world through David, where the demon can begin exerting an insidious influence on all of them. As Lucifuge's possession of David grows stronger, his personality radically changes, forcing Ashley and Henry into increasingly desperate measures to counter the demon's sadistic whims before he destroys everything they hold dear.
Will Ashley manage to solve the house's mysterious connection to accursed supernatural forces in time to spare her loved ones? Or will her amateur rituals provoke Lucifuge to full chaotic manifestation on an unsuspecting mortal plane far beyond her control?

Only through great sacrifice and sheer force of will, can Ashley and Henry hope to regain their beloved David and head-off this powerful demon in a risky winner-takes-all battle royale. Failure to outmaneuver Lucifuge means their family and souls will be utterly consumed by an active living Evil that will stop at nothing to cross over forever.

    “This is an excellent book… When you start reading, be sure you don’t have to wake up early!”
    —Reader review for The Killing Game
    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    
    When US Marshal Alexa Chase begins receiving enigmatic messages that seem to come from beyond the grave, she's thrust into a cold case maze that reveals a classified government terror. Teamed up with a BAU agent, Alexa must piece together history's dark experiments to stop a present-day killer who's perfected the art of remaining unseen.
    
    THE KILLING PATH (An Alexa Chase Suspense Thriller—Book 9) is the ninth in a new series by mystery and suspense author Kate Bold, which begins with THE KILLING GAME (Book #1).
    
    Alexa Chase, 34, a brilliant profiler in the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, was too good at her job. Haunted by all the serial killers she caught, she left a stunning career behind to join the U.S. Marshals. As a Deputy Marshal, Alexa—fit, and as tough as she is brilliant—could immerse herself in a simple career of hunting down fugitives and bringing them to justice.
    
    But with her recent work a big success, the FBI and the Marshals have decided to make their joint-task force permanent. Alexa, reeling from her own traumatic past and her PTSD of hunting serial killers, has no choice: she will now have to work with an FBI partner she dislikes and hunt down serial killers whose jurisdiction intertwines with that of the U.S. Marshals. Alexa finds herself forced to confront the thing she dreads the most—entering a killer’s mind. 
     
    As Alexa dives deeper into the investigation, she realizes suspects are everywhere—and the clock is ticking. But who can really be trusted? 
    
    All Alexa can do is rely on her brilliant skills to enter the killer’s twisted mind before he strikes again.
    
    A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured Deputy Marshal, the ALEXA CHASE series is a riveting mystery, packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.
    
    Future books in the series are also available!
