Sgt. Janus and the House That Loved Death

Who is Death at the End?

Life and Death. Sgt. Janus struggles with these two concepts every single day of his existence to balance the scales when wrongs and injustices are perpetrated in the paranormal realm. But what does he truly know—truly understand—about the nature of either?

A mysterious and macabre stranger-killer is on the loose in Mount Airy, taunting the authorities with letters to a local newspaper’s editor-in-chief, and baffling everyone with a seemingingly supernatural ability to stalk and murder their victims. What the killer doesn’t count on, though, is the intervention of the Spirit-Breaker himself, Roman Janus, when death strikes far too close for comfort within the sergeant’s personal circle of friends.

The stage is set for Sgt. Janus’ greatest challenge yet—to stop death itself, even though his very possessions may be working against him to prevent it. The battle is fought on more than one plane, and everything he knows of the spirit world may be turned upside down before the dust clears and a victor emerges.

SGT. JANUS AND THE HOUSE THAT LOVED DEATH brings writer Jim Beard back to the adventures of the celebrated ghost hunter who has charmed and entertained fans of the classic occult detective genre in three previous volumes. Beware, though—the house is open and waiting for you to enter, but only the brave may be able to leave to tell its tale.
