  A MOST GRAVE RITUAL. In 1649, King Charles I escaped from the palace in which he was being held prisoner and made a desperate run for Southampton, hoping to reach safety on the Continent. He never made it and was returned to face trial and execution. This much we know. But what did he do along the way south? Did he stop at a castle of one of his loyal royalists? Did he leave behind a vast fortune that he had taken from the Royal Treasury? No one knows for sure.
  
  Or do they? The Musgrave family now owns the old castle and the great manor house beside it. The patriarch of the family dies in the graveyard and the locals believe that the headless ghost of the king did him in. The police accuse his son of murdering him so he could claim the fortune. Sherlock Holmes is hired to exonerate the lad. You would never guess what happens next.
  
  The original Sherlock Holmes story that inspired this one, The Musgrave Ritual, is appended to the paperback edition of this book.

  When the country falls, the hunt begins. 
  The United States has shattered. After a devastating trade war, fewer than twenty states remain. Power is fractured. Infrastructure is crumbling. And for most, survival means trading bullets and barter. 
  Lonn Peters, once a top detective in Honolulu, now scrapes by as a streetwise bounty hunter in the ruins of Hilo—guarding shops from gang rule, haunted by the badge he left behind. But when a mysterious job pulls him to the mainland, Lonn stumbles into a world far more dangerous than he imagined. 
  A fellow investigator has vanished. The authorities want it buried. Lonn wants answers. 
  What he uncovers could rip apart the fragile alliances still holding America together—and put a target on his back bigger than anything he’s faced before. 
  Corruption runs deep. Truth is a weapon. And in a nation on the brink, trust can kill you. 
  Perfect for fans of gritty dystopian thrillers, Mark of the Triad delivers relentless action, dark intrigue, and a protagonist who refuses to quit—no matter the cost. Buckle up. This ride doesn’t slow down.
