Beneath the quiet deserts, bustling cities, and lonely stretches of highway, something ancient stirs-an evil that blends supernatural horror with human corruption.

It's the kind of danger that doesn't show up in police reports.

The kind you call the Praetorius Agency to stop.

Jack de Sombras is a rugged ex-intelligence operative-equal parts cowboy investigator and reluctant hero. His past is a locked vault of secrets and trauma. Clairvoyant Tessa Wells Lancing is his once-agency partner, now co-founder of their private security firm, whose psychic visions make her both a target and a weapon. Together, they're the team you send when the case teeters between paranormal investigation and covert ops.

In The Skin Thief, a string of disappearances in the American Southwest leads them into haunted ruins, local corruption, and the crosshairs of Death herself, who wants Tessa to take her place.

In The Pillar, ritual killings and smuggled antiquities pull them deep into the occult underworld of serial killers and madness. Tessa deliberately wields her psychic gift for the first time, and Jack faces a haunting in his own home-while an unknown paramilitary unit tracks their every move.

In The Vessel, the road east turns lethal. Jack must confront the murderous ghost of his grandfather and a family curse that hints at his own supernatural abilities. Tessa's visions sharpen into unavoidable truths, drawing them toward a deadly confrontation with cult fanatics and ancient evil.

From sun-scorched canyonlands to fog-drenched city streets, from haunted houses to blood-soaked ritual sites, the Praetorius Agency Files deliver an addictive blend of occult mystery, supernatural suspense, and romantic thriller. Jack and Tessa's partnership is forged in danger, tested by trust, and lit by a slow-burn chemistry that even Death can't extinguish.

Three books-One relentless fight against the darkness-both human and not.

Perfect for fans of paranormal thrillers, psychic detective stories, and supernatural crime fiction ... all with more than a touch of romance and peril.

"MacArthur's ability to evoke vivid imagery is a highlight ... (and) will appeal to fans of dark fantasy and supernatural thrillers who enjoy complex characters and intricate plot twists." ~ Literary Titan, 2025
