Money for Old Bones: A Supernatural Mystery Where Old Curses Meet New Greed
Three hundred years ago, a village burned its own to keep the Devil away. Now, the Devil wants what's left.
When former SAS soldier Lorne Turner takes a job protecting a renovation project in the cursed village of Scob, he expects vandals and trespassers--not ghosts. But something ancient is stirring beneath The Rectory's charred foundations. Figures shift in the shadows, screams echo through the night, and the walls seem to bleed grief. Rain swells the river, and old ground begins to move.
As Lorne digs deeper, he uncovers the tragic secret of Efa and Charles Donne, lovers executed in 1685, and the curse that has haunted the Prescott bloodline ever since. Felix Prescott, a ruthless developer obsessed with breaking the curse, believes he can rewrite his fate, whatever the cost.
Haunted by his own war-born demons, Lorne finds the line between the living and the dead collapsing fast. As the fires of the past flare again, he and Ella, the village vicar, must face both human evil and something far older, something that remembers every scream from the night Scob burned.
Money for Old Bones is the second book in the Lorne Turner supernatural thrillers series, where cursed history clashes with modern crimes and the ghosts we carry inside. Perfect for readers of Merrily Watkins and Rivers of London.
