The Father Daniel Mysteries Book 1: Something in the Shadows

HIS SKILLS AT SPOTTING BAD GUYS & THEIR PLANS ARE LEGENDARY

Trouble was Daniel Jacobson's business in his years as an Israeli Intelligence operative and anti-terrorist/crime interrogator for the world's most secure airline. During his watch there were 312 attempts by people wanting to fly into Israel for the express purpose of committing terrorism or another crime. He exposed and stopped all 312. No would be perpetrator ever even got to step foot on an Israeli plane.

Nearly superhuman skills of observation and an uncanny talent for knowing if people were telling the truth made Daniel a force to be reckoned with by anyone looking for trouble. Years later as he surprisingly begins a vocation as a priest in the Catholic Church, he discovers that no matter where he is, trouble seems to always look for him!

A DIFFERENT KIND OF EVIL

When San Francisco residents Henry and Julie Kramer buy the old abandoned Miller House in the rural town of San Juan Bautista, the real estate developers can't wait to begin restoring the hundred year old house which is surrounded by beautiful open country and prime farmland. But there is a dark history to the Miller House and it isn't long before their enthusiasm turns to sheer terror as horrible apparitions, murder and other sinister deeds manifest themselves in the old Miller House. Who or what is behind all this?

Legendary abilities like Daniel's made Israel’s security defenses impenetrable and were unbeatable in stopping bad guys. But can even these abilities be enough to put an end to the evil hiding in the shadows of the old Miller House?
