“He will break anything you try to keep pure, brother.”

When her now-employer, psychic detective, Quentin Black, calls from a Bangkok jail, asking for her help, forensic psychologist, Miri Fox, is forced to fly across the world to get him.

She finds Black working undercover inside a gang of criminals, trying to discover who’s murdering street children and burning their bodies inside Buddhist temples.

Black isn’t the only one interested in the crimes, however, and soon his investigations get the attention of a crime syndicate out of Russia that doesn’t appreciate his meddling.

When Miri shows up to help, events quickly spiral out of control, and Miri soon finds herself the hunted.

The second book in the paranormal mystery series starring brilliant but dangerous psychic detective, Quentin Black and forensic psychologist, Miri Fox.

Miri Fox just returned to San Franciso after a harrowing ordeal in Thailand––an ordeal no one really understands except her boss, psychic detective, Quentin Black. But Black leaves Miri and San Francisco not long after they return to the States. Worse, he disappears with no explanation, no warning and without telling her when he’ll return.

Miri won’t answer his calls now and Black is desperate. Can he win back Miri’s trust, after betraying her when she needed him the most?

BLACK CHRISTMAS is a story in the Quentin Black Mystery series - a series set in the Quentin Black World. It is also a spinoff from the Bridge & Sword (Allie’s War) series, and takes place in the wider history/world of the seers.

Miri Fox just returned to San Franciso after a harrowing ordeal in Thailand––an ordeal no one really understands except her boss, psychic detective, Quentin Black. But Black…

“What kind of confession are you looking for, brother…?”

Black disappears, leaving Miri alone in San Francisco mere days after they return from Bangkok.

No explanation. Not a word about where he is, what he's doing, what his mysterious new contract entails or even who he's working for.

Black will only drop cryptic hints, leaving her breadcrumbs.

Miri can feel him, though. More every day.

She feels so much through her dreams and into her waking life that her world starts to spin out of control, especially when things between Black and his new employer begin to sour.

Black's in danger, although he won't admit that, either.

Only Miri can save him. But to help Black, she has to cross lines she swore she'd never cross, exposing herself in a way that will change her life forever.

Quentin Black and Miri Fox finally get a chance to consummate their relationship after being separated for months while Black was in Paris. Little does Miri know, being new to the whole “seer” thing, this means a few weeks of losing herself completely in her new boyfriend, barely able to function like a normal person, or really relate to anyone apart from Black himself.

In the midst of their mate-fog madness, Black and Miri somehow decide going out to dinner is a good idea. It’s not. Not really. Being in public right then isn’t exactly something they can pull off… although the food is great, when they remember to eat it.

“He is the guardian. He will protect his saint, no matter what it takes.”

Black and Miri just want some alone time.

Instead they get thrown into a high-profile murder case when one of Miri’s patients shows up dead.

When the body is found, beheaded and tied to a pier, Los Angeles detectives descend on San Francisco, convinced it’s the serial killer they’ve been hunting, known only by his media name of “the Templar.”

When the Templar continues to cut a swath through San Francisco, his victims begin to show a new pattern, however––a pattern that appears to have Miri at its center.

Book four in the paranormal mystery series starring brilliant but dangerous psychic detective, Quentin Black and forensic psychologist, Miri Fox.

“He is the guardian. He will protect his saint, no matter what it takes.”

Black and Miri just want some alone time.

Instead they get thrown into a high-profile murder case…

“He’d be fresh meat here. And he didn’t have his sight.”

Miri’s not thrilled when Black takes a new consulting gig with the LAPD.

Despite her lingering fears after what happened to him during the last murder case he worked, he assures her it’s routine, that he won’t be doing fieldwork, that nothing could possibly go wrong.

Then, during his first night on the job, at a stake-out on the Port of Los Angeles, everything goes horribly, horribly wrong.

Black wakes up in his worst nightmare, with no idea how he got there. Robbed of his psychic sight, he can’t even call to Miri for help, or use his abilities to figure out where he is, who took him, or what they want from him.

On the outside, Miri is frantic.

She has even less information than Black––until a confession from her Uncle Charles brings her face to face with a much older enemy, one that may have killed her entire family.

“He’d be fresh meat here. And he didn’t have his sight.”

Miri’s not thrilled when Black takes a new consulting gig with the LAPD.

Is a vampire more or less dangerous when he’s victim to a broken heart?

After Black spent weeks imprisoned and tortured by the evil vampire, “Brick,” Miriam is still dealing with the fallout of her husband’s nightmares and strange silences. When Black asks her to accompany him to New York for an extended business trip, Miri quickly agrees, but before they can leave, Brick ambushes them yet again.

This time, it’s Miri he wants.

Taken by Brick, she’s positive he’s using her as bait to lure her husband. But it turns out Brick wants her for an entirely different purpose, to act as psychic psychologist to his vampire girlfriend, Lila, who is suffering from trauma of her own.

Forced to work for a creature she despises, Miri finds herself drawn into his personal life in a way she never could have imagined or wanted, even as she fights to stay alive.

I thought I knew what angry looked like on Black before all this. I didn’t.

Black takes Miri with him to New York.

There, he thrusts her into a world of Wall Street, talk shows, fancy dinner parties with rich douchebags, and being hounded by paparazzi.

Although he’s playing the part of smirking Wall Street pirate, all of this is camouflage for his new business venture––which, as far as Miri can tell, consists of hunting down and killing every vampire in existence on Earth.

Mostly, however, Black wants Brick.

He flat-out won’t stop until he’s cut the head or heart from the vampire king who put him in that prison in Louisiana.

Alarmed by the changes she sees in him, Miri grows increasingly worried at the lengths he’s willing to go to exact his revenge.

When a series of terrorist attacks appear to have Black at their center, she starts to wonder who is hunting whom, whether Black is baiting the vampires into a confrontation or Brick is manipulating him once again for his own twisted purposes.

“It’s good,” he pronounced. “We need one like you. You need a ghost to fight a dead man.”

Black finds himself out in the New Mexico desert, where an old war buddy of his needs his help with a rash of murders plaguing his small reservation town.

At first it appears to be a pretty cut and dried case of supernatural infestation.

When it turns out that infestation is being orchestrated by a banished and fanatical shaman, however, things start to get weird fast.

Black, who only went out there to forget his marriage problems and distract himself with some good, honest work, soon finds himself face to face with his worst fears from his past.

He needs Miri out there to help him, but when he finally convinces her to come, things only spiral even faster out of control, drawing them into an ancient, apocalyptic force that might tear them apart forever.

“It’s good,” he pronounced. “We need one like you. You need a ghost to fight a dead man.”

Black finds himself out in the New Mexico desert, where an old war buddy of his needs…

“This strike you as a particularly wise idea, brother?” Manny asked under his breath. “Striking a deal with vampires?”

Black gave him a look. “No. But all my other ideas were worse.”

A coup is underway.

That coup threatens the entire United States––possibly the whole of the human race.

Psychic detective, Quentin Black, has no idea who’s behind it, what their goal is, or what they want with him. After the funeral of one of his oldest friends, he finds himself on the run from the very people he used to work for in the Pentagon.

With his wife, Miri, he’s forced to flee the country, then to seek allies in the most unlikely of quarters to try and clear his name.

Together, they return to the center of the conspiracy, Washington D.C., and face the architect of what might be a terrifying new world.

Will Black be able to stop history from repeating itself in the worst way imaginable?

“This strike you as a particularly wise idea, brother?” Manny asked under his breath. “Striking a deal with vampires?”

Black gave him a look. “No. But all my other ideas were…

“He’s just like his cousin,” the seer grunted. “Sh*t followed him everywhere, too. No matter where he went, there it was.”

Black and Miri go to Thailand, to Black’s private resort on the island of Koh Mangaan. There, they find themselves running a quasi-refugee center for seers fleeing Lucky Lucifer, otherwise known as Miri’s Uncle Charles.

Black also gives Miri an ultimatum––right as Thai Park Rangers ask for Black’s help finding two missing tourists from Bangkok, who vanish in the wild, mountainous national park that takes up half the island.

The rangers worry the other inhabitants of the island might be involved––a group of strange foreigners who’ve lived on the island for decades, feral humans calling themselves the Nachtsonne, or “Night Sun.”

Black sends a team to help, but soon the search team goes missing––and Nick, Angel, Cowboy, Dex and Jem with them.

Worse, a new force seems to have awakened on the island––a force somehow connected to Black himself. When Black and Miri’s friends remain missing, it becomes clear the danger is real, and Black must face the mountain and the Nachtsonne himself.

In the process, he’ll call upon the least-likely person imaginable for help.

“He’s just like his cousin,” the seer grunted. “Sh*t followed him everywhere, too. No matter where he went, there it was.”

Black and Miri go to Thailand, to Black’s private…

It was too late to save him.
It was too late for him to want to be saved.
Nice guy Nick, ex-cop, decorated vet…
was no more.

Nick Tanaka has been missing for months.

After that mess on the Thai island of Koh Mangaan, Miri and Black search for Nick all over Europe, following every lead, every rumor or trail they can run down.

Those footsteps are rapidly fading, though.

Miri has to face facts.

Nick is probably dead.

Whether the vampires killed him, or he died in that fire on Koh Mangaan, she might never know.

She and Black return to the United States, back to San Francisco, back to the reality of her Uncle Charles and the civil war he’s brought to American soil.

Charles wants nothing more than to wipe out the vampire race, and he’s willing to enslave or kill every human on the planet to do it.

As his newly-founded “Purity Movement” starts riots in several states, the unrest moves closer to Black and Miri, even as Charles continues to pressure them to join the war on his side.

The vampires are worried about Charles, too––so worried, their king contacts Black, wanting an alliance. In return, he promises news on Nick.

It’s an offer Miri can’t refuse.

Miriam isn’t the powerful seer.
She isn’t the one with strange abilities…

…that’s her husband, Quentin Black.

Heck, Miri isn’t even a full-blood.

So what are these hyper-realistic dreams she keeps having? And why does she keep disappearing, pretty much every time she falls asleep – and increasingly, even when she isn’t asleep?

Where does she go that Black can’t feel or find her, when he can ALWAYS feel and find her?

When Miri’s dreams start following her back to the real world, scaring the hell out of her husband, military-trained seer, Quentin Black, he decides to take matters into his own hands and follow her in, whatever it takes.

Miriam isn’t the powerful seer.
She isn’t the one with strange abilities…

…that’s her husband, Quentin Black.

Heck, Miri isn’t even a full-blood.

So what are these…

His wife.
He fell still for the first time, panting, blinking against his blurred vision.
Whoever had him…
Gaos, they had his wife.

Kicked out of their momentary kiss with paradise, Miri and Black return to their version of Earth in the midst of a growing race war, a war with increasingly dark implications.

Black knows his wife will be targeted by both sides once they realize what she can do, what her newfound powers really mean.

Nick is still missing. Dalejem is presumed dead.

The vampire race is massing, preparing for all-out war.

Meanwhile, riots rage, and Charles, the seer who decided to take over the planet from the human race, is locking down the country, preparing for that final confrontation.

Both sides want Black with them. Both sides want to control him.

When Black’s wife goes missing, that’s the last damned straw.

When he finally loses his cool, the whole world may pay the price.

His wife.
He fell still for the first time, panting, blinking against his blurred vision.
Whoever had him…
Gaos, they had his wife.

Kicked out of their momentary kiss with…

“It’s doing something,” the boatman said, hooking a thumb towards the shed. “It’s bad enough when it was just a dead body, man. Now, it’s like… doing things.”

“Doing things?” Black stared at him, his rich, drunk-guy schtick forgotten. “It’s a dead body. What could it possibly be doing?”

Miri just wanted a vacation… a little alone-time with her mate.

After months of separation, after Black’s struggles with his recent “transformation,” after Miri doing her part, ridding the world of evil, including her crazy uncle and his dreams of enslaving the human race, she really just wanted to hang in Hawaii with Black and drink mai tais out of pineapples.

But not a day passes before the body of a strange soldier washes up on shore, a body whose very existence raises disturbing questions, and not only because he’s part machine.

When an old friend asks Black to find answers, Black reluctantly agrees, even as paparazzi hound Black and Miri’s every move, making it impossible to blend with the other rich celebrities at the exclusive resort where they’re staying.

Then more soldiers show up, alive ones this time.

Black discovers something more sinister at work, putting him and Miri in the crosshairs once again.

“It’s doing something,” the boatman said, hooking a thumb towards the shed. “It’s bad enough when it was just a dead body, man. Now, it’s like… doing things.”

“Doing things?”…

Black’s secret identity is out… as in WAY out… as in, he more or less announced who and what he was to every reporter in San Francisco.

Already a semi-notorious media hound and celebrity P.I., Black is now actively feared and coveted by every defense contractor and human military in the world.

Worse, he’s got his own government breathing down his neck, not to mention his own race, the seers, who want Black dead for exposing their species to the humans, and putting all of them in mortal danger.

That doesn’t even get into the vampires. Or his mate’s psychotic seer uncle, who wants to design a world where seers run everything, where the vampires are all dead or enslaved, where humans are little more than puppets of their seer “masters.”

Miri, Black’s mate, is hardly thrilled her husband handed her this mess, or once more threw her in the path of the human media, various assassins, the anger of her Uncle Charles… not to mention the United States’ military industrial complex.

But not everyone in the human world is thrilled at the prospect of losing their status as “dominant planetary species.” Some are willing to do just about anything to prevent that from happening… including risk wiping out every living being on Earth.

Black’s secret identity is out… as in WAY out… as in, he more or less announced who and what he was to every reporter in San Francisco.

Already a semi-notorious media hound and…

Black’s old army buddy, Cal, needs Black’s help on a new case––a bizarre murder in San Jose, California, where a man is found sawed in half. The victim, a wealthy venture-capitalist and soon to be brother-in-law of Black’s friend, disappeared right before his fortieth birthday party.

The murderer may also be something not-quite-human.

Holed up in Santa Fe with his wife, Miri, waiting for another friend to recover from a near-fatal injury, Black has time to kill, and he owes Cal.

But nothing about this murderer or their victims is what it seems.

When their main suspect takes out Black and Miri single-handedly, destroying a building in downtown San Jose, it sets off a series of events that could have significance for the entire world. Worse, an old enemy stands ready in the wings to take advantage of the situation, and get his revenge on Miri and Black.

Killing them might be his final act before he remakes the world in his own, twisted image. Only this time, he’ll have the creation’s two most powerful beings at his side.

Black’s old army buddy, Cal, needs Black’s help on a new case––a bizarre murder in San Jose, California, where a man is found sawed in half. The victim, a wealthy…

They thought the war ended.
They believed the last battle finally won.
They thought the curtain finally fell.

Black and Miri host the seer wedding they dreamed of, what they planned before that mess in California ended with one of Black’s best friends dead.

Officiated by “oldest soul” Dalejem, with his individually prepared seer hallucino-cakes, the seer wedding promises a night of crazed debauchery and mystical visions, wanders in the desert, prescient glimpses of the future. Black promises Miri no one will get hurt, that it’s all in good fun. Everyone will hang out, drink, eat, bake in the resort’s jacuzzi, have deep discussions, and laugh like loons while they celebrate the final ritual before Miri and Black ride off into the sunset.

But things don’t go that way.

Minutes after Black and Miri ingest the final cake, unwanted visitors crash the party.

Black and Miri find themselves inside a grim, centuries-old puzzle, a mystery filled with death and black magic, murder and tragedies from the past.

Locked inside with no way out, they have no choice but to solve it if they ever want to see their friends alive again.

They thought the war ended.
They believed the last battle finally won.
They thought the curtain finally fell.

Black and Miri host the seer wedding they dreamed of, what they…
