The Spectral Detective
Start here: Into Darkness (free), then Part One and Part Two. Print is a separate series.
Blinded during a covert wartime mission, Captain Arthur R. King returns from the shadows of the Second World War with more than scars. Where others see darkness, King sees echoes: ghosts of violence, fragments of memory, and impossible clues hidden in the unseen world.
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.
