Morton Candle is a tough guy.

He grew up on the streets of Brooklyn, dodging from mobster-ruled neighborhoods to reform school before the army snapped him up and sent him to Europe to fight Hitler. That’s where he met Weatherby Stein, the scion to one of the greatest occult families of Europe. Weatherby and his parents were being held prisoner by the Nazis, forced to use their supernatural knowledge to aid the Third Reich’s war effort.

Now it’s the 1950s.

Reminiscent of old timey detective fiction, these seven creepy crime stories revolve around amateur sleuths from opposite sides of the pond – poor brawny American/rich brainey Brit – and their passion for pursuing paranormal perps of all stripes. Vampires. Hoodoo. Undead. All the crazy of a thriller saturated in deep dark noir enui.

Blood-Spiller’s Quarry: A Novel of the Stone Law

MURDER AT THE DAWN OF TIME

In the first city of the Stone Age, a Neanderthal lawman hunts the world’s first serial killer. During a time of monstrous beasts and warring tribes, the sprawling Cro-Magnon settlement known as the Heap is home to new things: safety, trade, peace—and law. Red, a Broadhead exile adopted by the Heap, keeps those laws. He is a Fang, a sworn protector of the Heap’s people, and he’s dealt with everything from prehistory’s first crime lords and caveman blood feuds to forest-dwelling cannibals and mammoth stampedes.

A new terror comes to the Heap: the Blood-Spiller, a masked nightmare who kills without provocation. Red and his partner, the clever former warrior Star, struggle to catch this new killer in the flickering torchlight and primeval shadows of the dawn of mankind. And lurking under it all is a brewing war between the Heap and Red’s Neanderthal kin—and the dark conspiracy behind the birth of civilization itself.
