Beginning with a Halloween party in an abandoned asylum and ending in a cavern beneath a former Underground Railroad house, the book tracks how a young investigator\u2019s precision tools\u2014EMF meters, thermal cameras, lock-picks\u2014meet the unpredictable violence of spirits, demons, and human evil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guen is a striking creation: a Scream-Queen turned serious investigator, a Catholic who prays the St. Michael prayer while testing electromagnetic fields, an escape artist whose most daring feats involve resisting temptation and negotiating with the dead. Janet Yamashita, skeptical and quick with a sidearm, provides a witty counterpoint. Early investigations follow a disciplined pattern of testing and prayer; later ones erupt into folk-horror seductions, a steamboat sorceress\u2019s love-hex, and a final confrontation with a West African spider demon. Clear, tactile prose grounds the escalating mythology, and the book\u2019s moral clarity\u2014mercy over spectacle\u2014makes this engrossing supernatural procedural unexpectedly humane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fans of eerie ghost tales and high-octane supernatural adventures will be gratified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Case-Files-GG-Michaels\/dp\/1777921856\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Case-Files-GG-Michaels\/dp\/1777921856\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy now<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Pub date October 30, 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">ISBN 978-1777921859<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Age range 14+<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Price $9.99 (USD) Paperback, $2.99 Kindle edition<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A smart, pulpy, and unexpectedly humane supernatural procedural that thrills as much as it uplifts.
