    Laird Barron's acclaimed crime saga makes a triumphant return in The Wind Began to Howl, an all-new story set after the events of Worse Angels. A seemingly benign case gradually pulls mob enforcer-turned-PI Isaiah Coleridge into a chilling mix of music, movie magic, mayhem, and madness. 
     
     
     
    This time, Coleridge's dark journey forces him to confront a brutal truth: For some who try to escape the past, there is no way out. 
     
     
     
    "Hardboiled and trippy at the same time, The Wind Began to Howl by Laird Barron is a twisted ride through the darker recesses of the mind complete with conspiracy theories, ex-government operatives, movie madness, and possibly a portal into another dimension." —Alma Katsu, author of The Fervor 
     
     
     
    "Isaiah Coleridge hits back hard in this bare-knuckle novella that's equal parts Hollyweird fiction and conspiracy-laden Catskills noir." —Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Ghost Eaters

    The Reluctant Witness 
    (By Sal Blue) 
    Some truths refuse to stay buried. 
    Detective Darrius Blue thought the nightmare ended when the Confessional Killer was caught. But when a traumatized survivor emerges with whispers of an ancient brotherhood inside the Church—known only as The Order of Clemency—Darrius is pulled back into a web of secrets that reach higher and deeper than he ever imagined. 
    With Detective Sarah Donovan at his side, Blue’s pursuit of justice drags them through a maze of lies, sacred oaths, and silent witnesses who would rather die than speak. Each clue exposes another layer of corruption, each confession another soul lost to penance and power. 
    When a reclusive nun steps forward with evidence too damning to ignore, Blue must decide how far he’s willing to go for the truth—because in this investigation, even the innocent aren’t untouched, and the guilty hide behind holy walls. 
    As old enemies resurface and alliances blur, Blue discovers that salvation and damnation often share the same confessional. 
    Faith. Guilt. Vengeance. Redemption. 
    In The Reluctant Witness, the line between them is razor-thin—and crossing it may cost Darrius Blue everything.
