The Wicked that Lurks: Book Two of the R. Davian Cooke Case Files

What would you do if you knew there were malicious murders performed by stuffed game? The night R. Davian Cooke stepped foot in the Sentinel Club, he knew that this case would surely top the previous. Whether he could conclude how the murders were being pulled off was not the concern; the issue lingering in the back of Mr. Cooke's mind was whether he will be able to solve it in time and still escape with his head intact (with his life). One moment, he is solving his first major case along newfound colleague, Inspector Hobbs; the next, watching in horror as club staff are meeting unusual, and fatal (untimely), fates. The fact that the club members are not only respected members of the community, but also some of the finest heroes this country has ever seen, is not lost on young Davian. No matter the countless high-profile individuals that roam the halls of the club, Mr. Cooke knows that the real murderer is able to hide in plain sight all while keeping their ill intentions close to their chest. The cunning young detective knows that his hopeful career is all but over if he cannot find the killer and put an end to the ripple effects felt by so many faceless victims; family members who have lost so much to the malicious deaths occurring among the help. All of this while still reeling from the outrageous case he solved not a week prior. To add upon all of this comes the fact that his older brother, Edward, not only finds his profession foolish, but a complete waste of the family's fortune. During an unexpected encounter, Edward brings an ultimatum to the table that could leave Davian living among the gutters of New York. Will Mr. Cooke be able to pull himself together and find the cunning skills needed to end this reign of terror and bring the killer, or killers, to justice? Or will he find his own unfortunate demise?
