Overview

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. ______________________________________________________________ Praise for the Lorne Turner Supernatural Thrillers: ★★★★★ “An engaging supernatural mystery.” ★★★★★ “I was locked in and couldn’t put it down.” ★★★★★ “The Exmoor landscape is equally important a character as the hero.” ★★★★★ “Reminiscent of Merrily Watkins… I’ve immediately purchased the third.” ★★★★★ “Fast paced and gripping, combining the supernatural with suspense.” ★★★★★ “Lorne Turner is once again caught up in an old crime that haunts the present.” ★★★★★ “This gem is filled with old graves, old bones, curses, darkness, love and loss…” ★★★★★ “Really enjoyed this book—a real page turner.” ★★★★★ “The atmosphere was creepy and had me looking over my shoulder.” ★★★★★ “Edge of your seat story!” ★★★★★ “Loads of surprises, the twists and turns kept you reading.” ★★★★★ “A possibly haunted house and some very mean people.” ★★★★★ “Definitely a winner… chilling all the same.” ★★★★★ “The atmosphere is a part of the story with passages like, ‘I watched the dusk leak down the steep hillsides”

Author Information

Joe Talon is an author used to walking in a place where you're never quite certain if the world is full of rainbows or shadows. Real life holds little interest. Having grown up on Exmoor, Joe has been fascinated by the mysterious and spooky places that dwell in the dark woodlands and quiet combes. In Joe's first series, the world is a little sideways from ours. It is full of shapes moving on the edge of our vision when they shouldn’t and cold spots in warm places. For Joe, there is always the question, 'what would I do if'? When writing crime, Joe tangles with gangsters and dealers, murderers and thieves, all in the small town of Glastonbury. A place known for its otherness. Joe's Cornish adventures once more explore the supernatural blending with real world events. If you would like to know more, do come and join the Taloneers. You can easily find Joe in the usual haunts of writers, (I'm not allowed to give you my digital address). There are all kinds of mysteries and fun to be had. What spare time Joe has is spent with seven dogs, lots of walks, chaotic gardening, and exploring the strange worlds just the other side of what we think we know to be real. Who needs real life when there are books!
