"Shadows of the Night" by Richard DawesShadows of the Night

 by Richard Dawes

Late one fog-shrouded evening, Dirk Hammond, private detective, is called to the mansion of Baron Vladimir Cardula. A series of grisly murders are sweeping San Francisco and the Baron, fearful that he is slated to be the next victim, asks Hammond to enter the investigation.

Sensing the play of dark powers beyond his ability to cope, Hammond hesitates, but the lure of $50,000 and the Baron’s fiery daughter, Talia, finally convince him to take the case. The corpse littered trail leads him to a diabolical cult that indulges in human sacrifice, a beautiful Assistant District Attorney with secrets of her own, a clandestine organization of blood-thirsty vampires, and a group of wealthy businessmen with their own ideas about how to save the world from itself.

In a startling finale, Dirk Hammond confronts the murderer in a form he least expected, and must call upon all his powers to prevail. A final horrifying surprise awaits him when he meets the Devil himself and is introduced to the real meaning and significance of Evil.

Given a one way ticket to Kenya by his father and the admonition, “Make something of yourself,” Charles begins work at his father’s friends ruby mine. And secretly plans to steal the jewels of Mother Earth. So does an expatriate Rhodesian Zulu, carried as an infant on his grandfathers back into exile.

Who will steal the famed Nairobi Bloodstar ruby as it is discovered? The handsome Englishman so he can return home in triumph or the proud Zulu fighting for the newly named country Zimbabwe? And then Charles meets his match, falling in love with the beautiful, intelligent Dutch South African, Erica, fighting her own country’s Apartheid hypocrisy.

So begins a journey of intrigue fraught with unseen twin tragedies, the spiritual revelation of one other and as to where the precious ruby finally finds a home.
