Working in the uneasy aftermath of 1945, King becomes an investigator of cases no ordinary detective can solve. With former allies, buried secrets, and enemies thought lost to history closing in around him, he must navigate a world where espionage, murder, ancient relics, and the supernatural collide.
The Spectral Detective Series blends historical mystery, noir atmosphere, wartime intrigue, and uncanny horror in the story of a wounded soldier who discovers that losing his sight has opened another kind of vision.
