Fear the Reaper

R. Wayne Emerson's captivating former priest and supernatural investigator Raef Lorenz is back for his second adventure exposing the dark heart of American history.

Lorenz thinks it isn't going to be an exciting assignment. He's been sent by the Catholic Church to investigate glowing headstones in the small town of Berwick, Pennsylvania. When he gets into town, however, the beautiful local detective Kelly Thrush informs him of a rash of mysterious deaths plaguing the town. First, the mayor is beheaded in his office. A teenage girl dies in a horrible car crash. After Raef arrives in town, a pregnant woman is slashed to death-but not by a knife. Instead, the cuts look like they were made with a...scythe?

As in his previous adventure with the Jersey Devil, Raef finds himself investigating the truth behind a piece of folklore coming to horrific life. The Grim Reaper is out there, and he's killing for some unknown purpose. Raef's investigation will take him and Kelly into the town's dark, twisted past and reveal the crimes of the present. How many more will fall to the scythe before Raef can rid the town of this malevolent power?
