Dead Also Have Secrets: A Supernatural Mystery of a Cursed Relic on Exmoor

The dead have always whispered to Lorne Turner. Now they're screaming.

On the wild edge of Exmoor, a Syrian family's new beginning is tainted by old ghosts. Their home, perched on Countisbury Hill, hides the resting place of pirates who once stole a sacred relic from Byzantium, a relic that should never have touched mortal hands.

Pontius Pilate's bowl--the vessel of denial, the antithesis to the Grail--has surfaced again. It promises power to those who believe, freedom to those who are cursed, and destruction to all who touch it.

Across continents, faiths collide. The Vatican's secret police move like shadows. Dominionist zealots declare a holy war. And Lorne Turner, haunted soldier and reluctant vessel of a djinn, finds himself trapped between human obsession and divine wrath.

To protect those he loves, he must face the one truth his nightmares always warned him of: some absolutions are written in blood. Some relics wash away the world.

The Dead Also Have Secrets is book eight in the Lorne Turner supernatural thrillers, and Joe Talon weaves together myth, trauma, and redemption in a darkly beautiful reckoning--where every ghost has a reason, and even the dead keep secrets.
