The Night Belongs To Her by Justin Warren

The Night Belongs To Her by Justin Warren

Dylan Harper has been demoted and banished to the small town of Westport. Now the sergeant in charge of the local police station, he doesn’t expect to face another murder investigation any time soon. That is until one night, the phone rings. The voice on the other end is barely audible, but what it says makes Harper’s blood run cold. Minutes later, two men are shot with a high-powered rifle through the window of a bar, leaving one critically wounded, and one dead.

Detectives arrive and a fast-paced investigation ensues when it becomes apparent this might just be the first in a series of murders. A strange sequence of letters is etched into the bullet and a message written in blood is found at another address, all indicating a second murder will take place in less than 24 hours. Trouble is, only Harper believes more killings are to come.

Harper and his small team of police are thrust into a race against time to track down the killer before they strike again. But the mystery only deepens when someone breaks into Harper’s home to watch him as he sleeps. Are they the killer? Will Dylan Harper be the next victim? Only time will tell.

Only his memories can kill him.

Casey Marlowe’s life is a nightmare. Born during a tragic event that killed his mother and shaped the public psyche of his hometown, he grows up with the memories of his dead mother mixed inextricably with his own and the ability to see through The Gossamer.

Despite his best efforts to drown his visions with daily doses of alcohol, every horror his disturbed mind dreams up, manifests physically to haunt his waking days.

Desperate to find a way to defeat his demons, he discovers a deeply buried secret, and finally, a way to fight back. But his use of The Gossamer’s manifestations threatens to tear the fabric of reality apart.

If he saves himself, he might destroy the world.

Codename Poltergeist: Some call him a ghost by William Joel


About Featured Book: Codename Poltergeist: Some call him a ghost by William Joel

The CIA and presidential cabinet members covertly enter into an agreement with the Palestinians to remove certain key Israeli government figures in a plan to enable the United States to claim that they engineered peace in the Middle East and gain the favor of Arabic countries and likely gain favor to increase energy supply. Sentinel, a group of angelic-type beings who monitor the Earth, are very concerned that the United States could be igniting a major conflict if the Israelis learn of the plan and retaliate.

Taneen, an unscrupulous and deadly CIA operative convinces the CIA deputy director of operations to eliminate the agency’s most highly regarded operative, James Halyard, Codename Poltergeist, believing Halyard was a possible threat to their plans. Taneen won’t admit it, but he’s scared of Halyard who moves like a ghost through his missions and is jealous of Halyard’s deadliness. The attempt to kill Halyard fails, but they kill Halyard’s wife in the process. An angelic-like being from the Sentinel rescues Halyard who was seriously injured in the explosion that practically destroyed the hotel room he was sharing with his wife.

Sentinel heals Halyard of his wounds. They have been monitoring Halyard for some time and give him the option of becoming an agent for their purposes with highly augmented mental and physical abilities. He agrees and truly becomes Poltergeist able to move silently with the grace and ease of a large predator. His earing, vision, and cognitive abilities are highly elevated, and he has the ability to move through the transparency to escape from confined spaces. Sentinel sends Poltergeist to unravel and thwart the conspiracy. Even with Poltergeist’s impressive abilities he finds Taneen to be elusive and very deadly. Poltergeist encounters several unforeseen allies, a highly capable and equally lethal MOSSAD agent, Deborah Eisman, who at first sought to eliminate him and a crusty homicide detective, Harry Sullivan who help Poltergeist battle Taneen and the CIA.
