• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Set in Paris during the 1889 World Exposition, man-about-town Gregory "Monty" Meru and his capable cohort Tebley "Tim" Fatago investigate five mysterious deaths that confound the mundane methods of the Paris Sûreté. Schooled from a young age in the ways of the occult, Monty sets out to use his unique expertise to solve the unsolvable. He's even had cards made up! They read: Occult Death Investigation.

The intrepid duo's adventures lead them to encounter psychics, shape-shifters, sorcerers, ghosts, sinister secret societies, human sacrifice, cannibalism, bizarre suicide and something far worse ... all set against the backdrop of fin de siècle Paris. As a result, Monty is transformed from charming dilettante to scarred, seasoned professional.

But what Monty doesn't realize is that a very real evil is stalking him from the start. A darkness is gathering, one into which our hero is inexorably drawn. He learns that even in the world of spirits, there are rules... and limits. His odyssey culminates in a test of will and destiny as he wrestles with an evil that his own grandfather helped unleash.

Autorenporträt

Patrick Galloway began his writing career in 2005 with the publication of STRAY DOGS & LONE WOLVES: THE SAMURAI FILM HANDBOOK, a critically-acclamed exploration of over 50 top Japanese samurai films and one of the first such guides available in English. He followed this popular fan-favorite with a survey of extreme cinema in ASIA SHOCK: HORROR AND DARK CINEMA FROM JAPAN, KOREA, HONG KONG, AND THAILAND, and returned to the Japanese sword-film genre with WARRING CLANS, FLASHING BLADES: A SAMURAI FILM HANDBOOK.

A lifetime student of philosophy, spirituality and the occult, Galloway has most recently turned his creative inspiration to mystery and crime fiction. Fascinated by detectives made famous by such authors as Edgar Allan Poe, Arthur Conan Doyle and Seabury Quinn, Galloway set out to unite his accrued occult knowledge with the creation of a unique type of crime detection in OCCULT DEATH INVESTIGATION: THE GREGORY MERU MYSTERIES OF 1889.
