    About this ebook

    THE DEAD ARE SHAMELESS GOSSIPS. AFTER YOU HELP ONE OF THEM, WORD GETS AROUND FAST...

    3 Full-Length Novels in 1 E-book...

    GHOUL SQUAD is a 3-in-1 compilation of the first three award-winning Rowan Gant Investigations supernatural thrillers by M. R. Sellars, containing: HARM NONE, NEVER BURN A WITCH, and PERFECT TRUST, plus a bonus - the first two chapters of THE LAW OF THREE, book 4 in the RGI series.

    HARM NONE: A Rowan Gant Investigation (Book 1)

    Satan always gets the blame...

    A ritual killing, complete with Occult symbols. The chilling words, ALL IS FORGIVEN scrawled in the victim's own blood. This is definitely NOT just another run of the mill crime scene for Metropolitan Saint Louis Homicide.

    Wary of the lip service from the department's "cult expert," Detective Benjamin Storm contacts his long time friend, Rowan Gant for advice. A freelance computer consultant with a penchant for studying religions and spirituality, Rowan also happens to be a practicing, modern-day Witch. He easily sheds light on the meanings behind the symbols, however, what they reveal is that this murder is only a prelude to much more ritualistic bloodletting, all in order to feed the killer's delusions.

    As the body count starts to rise, and the dead begin to speak to Rowan, he finds himself torn from his mundane life, and thrust into a pivotal role in a race to stop a sadistic serial killer.

    NEVER BURN A WITCH: A Rowan Gant Investigation (Book 2)

    They burn Witches, don't they?

    A killer armed with gross misinterpretations of the Holy Bible, and a 15th century Witch hunting manual known as the Malleus Maleficarum, has chosen to resurrect the Inquisition, and the residents of Saint Louis are his prey. With the unspeakable horrors of "The Burning Times" being played out across the metropolitan area, Rowan Gant is again enlisted by Homicide Detective Benjamin Storm and the Greater Saint Louis Major Case Squad to help hunt down a killer who is on a relentless spree. Rowan's knowledge of religion and history are invaluable to the investigation. The fact that he seems unable to escape the voices of the dead, even more so.

    But being a Witch can only mean one thing - the hunter is also the hunted.

    PERFECT TRUST: A Rowan Gant Investigation (Book 3)

    Dead I am... Dead I am... I do not like that dead I am.

    Rowan Gant used to be just an average guy who just happened to be a Witch. However, when the spirits of murder victims found out he could hear them, they started coming to him for help. His life just hasn't been the same since...

    In a span of less than two years, Rowan's curse of hearing the dead has brought him face to face with not one but two serial killers. Now still recovering from the post-traumatic stress of those investigations, all he wants is to spend a peaceful Yuletide season at home with his wife and friends. Unfortunately, the vengeful spirit of a dead college cheerleader has a different holiday celebration in mind, and she's not going to stop until he listens.

    Once again, Rowan is thrust headlong into a murder investigation as a civilian consultant to the Greater Saint Louis Major Case Squad. However, the dark visions now playing out in his mind's eye bring the twisted desires of a deranged sexual predator far too close to home, making Rowan doubt his sanity - and perhaps even his own innocence...

    M. R. Sellars

    A member of the ITW (International Thriller Writers), M. R. Sellars is a relatively unassuming homebody who, in his own words, considers himself just a “guy with a lot of nightmares and a word processing program.” Legend has it he started making up stories to entertain a stuffed bear during his single digit years, then began writing them down sometime around his early teens when the growing catalogue of fiction started causing him to experience migraines. Although he had several short stories and newspaper articles published during his early adult life, it wasn’t until 2000 that his first full-length novel, Harm None: A Rowan Gant Investigation, hit bookstore shelves, officially launching the acclaimed paranormal thriller series. Sellars says that the biggest adjustment he has had to make with his writing career is coping with the time spent away from his family while traveling on promotional tours. Still, he approaches the necessity of public appearances with the same humorously deadpan and satirical wit that he applies to life in general, stating, “As long as I have an RC Cola and a bag of peanuts, I’m all good, Bubba.” All of the current novels in Sellars’ continuing Rowan Gant Investigations saga have spent several consecutive weeks on numerous bookstore bestseller lists as well as a consistent showing on the Amazon.com Horror/Occult top 100. In 2010 a short e-novella featuring a supporting character from the RGI cast spawned a new series, The Special Agent Constance Mandalay Novels, the first in the spinoff being IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER, which hit the streets November 2011. Sellars currently resides in the Midwest with his incomparably amazing wife, equally fantastic daughter, and a pair of felines he describes as, “the competition.” At home, when not writing or taking care of the household, he indulges his passions for cooking and hanging out with friends. In order to satisfy his lifelong dream of being a satirical humor columnist for a major metropolitan newspaper, twice each week he removes his glasses, dons blue tights and a red cape, then blogs about the incredibly bizarre world that is his life as a writer, husband, and father. It has been said that his blog articles sometimes blur the line between fiction and reality. To that Sellars responds, “What line?” M. R. Sellars can be located on the web wherever there is a virtual bar serving virtual single malt Scotch, single barrel bourbon, good Irish whisky, and decent beer. In other words, look for him on the major social networking sites.
