Following the grief and horror of her discovery of Jack the Ripper's true identity, Audrey Rose Wadsworth has no choice but to flee London and its memories. Together with the arrogant yet charming Thomas Cresswell, she journeys to the dark heart of Romania, home to one of Europe's best schools of forensic medicine... and to another notorious killer, Vlad the Impaler, whose thirst for blood became legend.
But her life's dream is soon tainted by blood-soaked discoveries in the halls of the school's forbidding castle, and Audrey Rose is compelled to investigate the strangely familiar murders. What she finds brings all her terrifying fears to life once again.
This is the New York Times bestselling sequel to Kerri Maniscalco's haunting debut Stalking Jack the Ripper. Could it be a copycat killer... or has the depraved prince been brought back to life?
In the sequel, The Feds' Folly: Who Stole $17 Trillion?, Jones, having survived his jet's bomb-related crash, along with his girlfriend Mary, are "on the lam" eluding "hit squads" across the US, Mexico, Costa Rica, and England.
They leverage damaging inside information provided by a Treasury mole to formulate an elaborate, albeit illegal, plan. If successful, their plan will not only expose the Feds' $17 trillion heist to the world, but it will also bring down the corrupt Swamp Rats in DC, and may even possibly exonerate Jones and his associates.
The world did not end in the Year of Our Lord 1420. The Days of Wrath and Vengeance, heralding the Kingdom of God, did not arrive. Satan was not released from his prison to deceive the nations of the Earth. The sinners and opponents of God were not annihilated by sword, fire, famine, hail, the fangs of beasts, scorpion stings, or snake venom. The world did not perish and burn. At least not entirely.
Yet, it was still a merry time, especially for Reinmar of Bielawa, also known as Reynevan, a herbalist and learned medic, related to many of the mighty of the contemporary world. This young man, having fallen in love with the beautiful and spirited wife of a Silesian knight, experiences unforgettable moments of romantic elation. That is, until the relatives of the betrayed husband break down the doors and storm into the chamber. At that moment, Reynevan's merriment comes to an abrupt end.
Commenting on Reynevan's penchant for falling in love, the knight Zawisza the Black, "a knight without blemish or stain," remarked, "Oh, you won't die a natural death, young lad!" Zawisza, soon captured, is executed by the Turks. And what of Reynevan? We have two more volumes of the trilogy to find out.
