Krewe of Hunters · #1
Phantom Evil
A secret government unit, a group of renegade paranormal investigators... and a murder no one else can crack.
Though haunted by the recent deaths of two teammates, Jackson Crow knows that the living commit the most heinous crimes.
A police officer utilizing her paranormal intuition, Angela Hawkins already has her hands full of mystery and bloodshed.
But one assignment calls to them too strongly to resist. In a historic mansion in New Orleans's French Quarter, a senator's wife falls to her death. Most think she jumped; some say she was pushed. And yet others believe she was beckoned by the ghostly spirits inhabiting the house — once the site of a serial killer's grisly work.
In this seemingly unsolvable case, only one thing is certain: whether supernatural or all too human, crimes of passion will cast Jackson and Angela into danger of losing their lives... and their immortal souls.
The series
Some crimes leave no fingerprints—just whispers, echoes, and the lingering presence of something not quite gone. That’s the space the Krewe of Hunters moves through: a shadowy intersection of FBI investigations and the paranormal, where every case comes with more than its share of restless dead.
Read full series description
This long-running series draws readers into a richly imagined world where the supernatural isn't a gimmick—it’s part of the terrain. Each installment centers on a different member of an elite team of federal agents, all of whom possess an unusual gift: the ability to communicate with the dead. But their abilities aren’t flashy or overdone; they’re intimate, unpredictable, and often unsettling—perfectly matching the dark, often gothic landscapes they’re sent to explore. Whether it’s a haunted plantation in the South, a crumbling theater in Manhattan, or an abandoned battlefield in New England, the setting always breathes its own kind of ghost story.
What keeps this series grounded isn’t just the supernatural twists—it’s the human heart at the center of every case. Beneath the suspense and spectral mysteries, these stories are about connection: between partners, lovers, and the living and the dead. The romantic threads develop organically alongside the danger, woven with the kind of emotional nuance that gives the stakes real weight.
With its atmospheric blend of crime thriller and ghost story, the series has carved out a loyal following and continues to evolve without losing the eerie charm that made it stand out in the first place. There’s a quiet tension that builds with each chapter, an almost cinematic pacing that keeps the reader just slightly off-balance—in the best way.
In a genre crowded with procedural formulas, these stories offer something different: not just whodunits, but why-they-stay-behinds. It’s not always the living who need justice. Sometimes, it’s the ones left behind in the dark.
