Product Description
Desert Wolf and Act of Grace explore the intriguing paranormal universe of Luke Stone as he battles his nemesis, black magician Armand Jacobi in the heart of Death Valley, tracks lost children, and solves a 250 year old New England mystery swirling with murder, witchcraft, and retribution to save the life of his newly beloved Beth Rutledge.
In Desert Wolf, we meet Luke Stone a twenty-eight year old recluse who has been drawn by terrifying visions from the woods of northern Michigan to Death Valley. Stumbling out of the rocks and sand, Luke happens upon Eppie Falco’s Desert Inn and Café where he discovers, besides an array of motley travelers, a silver-haired voyager he had not expected: Armand Jacobi a powerful, charismatic magician and the man Luke escaped from seventeen years before. Drawn to this place by his visions, Luke is now confronted with the full horrors of his past. The struggle he faces will culminate in either his final destruction or ultimate redemption.
Act of Grace continues Luke’s story thirteen years later as we find him living again in seclusion now in New Camen, New Hampshire following the death of his wife, Consuelo, whom he had met at Eppie’s Cafe. Into this solitude drops Dr. Bethany Rutledge, with a mystery of her own. Accused of the murder of her daughter, stripped of her medical license, her marriage to politician Adrian Mountzaire in tatters, Beth Rutledge is haunted nightly by tortuous dreams, the recurring vision of a woman’s brutal death by hanging. Adding to the mix, a young boy has gone missing, and his disappearance is centered in the tiny hamlet of New Camen, New Hampshire. Then, Adrian Mountzaire turns up dead on the beach with Beth lying beside him. Now Luke must not only find the lost boy, but save his beloved from the same fate that haunts her dreams.
