Produktbeschreibung

A modern-day Sherlock Holmes, Bernie Quist operates as a consultant detective from Baker Avenue in York. His assistant is Watson, although this Watson is a streetwise youth from the Grimpen housing estate and he's definitely no doctor. The mismatched duo take on bizarre cases which invariably lead into the realms of the supernatural, a shadowy world that, thanks to his dark secret, Quist is all too familiar with.A new exhibition is on display in the York Museum highlighting the infamous Badda sect and an obscure period in local history. Hidden away in North Africa's Atlas Mountains, this secretive cult performed mystical rites and sacrifices to their god, a sinister deity in the form of a huge wolf. Two-thousand years ago, the Romans brought this clandestine religion to Yorkshire, but sickened by their obscene practises, the Emperor Hadrian crushed the sect before it could become established.Quist and Watson suspect the exhibition is connected to the grisly murders which are currently baffling the York police. It can't be a coincidence that these magical artefacts arrived in time for a unique date at the full moon, and how is the glib clairvoyant Kyle Tarot involved in this? The detective's terrified assistant soon wishes the Roman Emperor had been a little more thorough in his effort to stamp out the Badda cult. A dark and very peculiar game is afoot...

Autorenporträt

Ian Jarvis grew up in the seaside town of Ramsgate, in the county of Kent, which is known as the 'Garden of England.' He served in the Royal Navy and upon leaving, began working locally, where he found his niche in management. He successfully completed management courses in college, where he honed his writing skills, he remained in management for several more years. Ian won a prize, several years ago, when he entered a 'Child and Parent' poetry competition, at his sons school, this gave him the confidence to continue writing poetry and begin writing short stories. Over a 20-year period, Ian frequently fished along the shore at Sandwich Bay in Kent, England, which is the location of his book, 'Light in the sky.' He has many memories of his times spent along the coast, where he witnessed several incidents, some of which found their way into, 'Light in the sky.' Moving to Canada in 2008, he settled in a small town, where his writing continues, and he also secured employment as an operations manager. His favorite past-time is fishing. He fished in the sea in England, he now fishes on the ice, during the winter or from a boat during the summer, in the fresh waters to be found in Canada. Ian has work in progress, which follows on where 'Light in the sky' left off, in 'Memories of the future.'
