Counting Crows: A Supernatural Mystery Where Old Rites Meet New Crimes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781036709846)

The crows came first, their silence a warning.

On the fog-drenched moors of Exmoor, former soldier Lorne Turner uncovers a murder posed like a prayer to something ancient. The victim, Steve "Kicker" Williams, lies aligned to the stars, his body marked with occult sigils that whisper of sacrifice and transformation.

The veil between worlds begins to fray, and so does Lorne's war-torn mind. Shadows move where they shouldn't. The air hums with unseen power. And at the centre of it all stands The Gnostic Dawn--an occult fraternity of influence and blood, led by Detective Inspector Tony Shaw, who seeks to bind the spirit line that threads through the land itself.

Haunted by the ghosts of desert battles, Lorne is pulled into the path of the vicar Ella Morgan and witch Willow Hunter. Together they find themselves fighting forces both human and unholy. Corruption hides behind badges. Darkness masquerades as faith. Every step toward the truth costs another piece of his soul.

When a snowstorm breaks over the ruins of Ashley Combe, Lorne must face not only the man who orchestrated the ritual, but the battle-hardened beast it awakened in his fractured mind.

Counting Crows launches the Lorne Turner Supernatural Thrillers, set on England's mist-drenched moors, where ancient rituals clash with modern crimes. Perfect for readers of Merrily Watkins and Rivers of London.

"This is a truly gripping page-turner of a novel that left me seriously looking forward to the next book." From the Occult Detective Magazine
