Jack Ryder Mystery Series, book 3-4 - Audio

THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT:

Scott Kingston is afraid of monsters.

He thinks they’re lurking outside his bedroom window at night when his mother tucks him in.
He asks his mother to keep the light on to scare the monsters away.
But that light is exactly what lures the kidnapper to his window and the next morning, Scott Kingston is gone.

Twenty-eight years later, Vernon Johnson is released from jail after spending the biggest part of his life on death row, convicted of having kidnapped and killed Scott Kingston.
As so many times before, he has appealed his case, but this time, the judge decides to let him go.
A witness has finally told the truth, and there is no longer sufficient evidence to keep him in jail.

But shortly after Vernon Johnson is released and has returned to his childhood town, another child disappears, and soon all eyes are on him again.

Detective Jack Ryder is getting ready to build the house of his dreams while hoping that Shannon won’t end up in jail for the murder her ex-husband committed.

She is expecting their child and the pregnancy, along with the worrying, takes a toll on the both of them, especially when a dark secret is revealed about the lot where they are preparing to build their house.

BLACK JACK:

Welcome to the Blackwood House. Enter if you dare.

There are rumors about this house in Savannah that all who have ever lived there have gone insane.

When Kimberly and Joseph inherit the house from an unknown aunt, they don’t know its murderous history.

They move in, and soon a series of strange events occur.

Little by little, Joseph starts to change, and soon Kimberly begins to wonder: is the house haunted, or is her husband just going mad?

Detective Jack Ryder and Shannon King have run away from the press and paparazzi to Savannah to get married.

They are preparing for their wedding when they stumble upon a young girl sitting alone on the docks at the harbor at night. She doesn’t seem to have any parents, nor does she know where she lives. Her feet are bare, and she has nowhere to go.

They take her in for the night, but as they try to pull out information from her, bizarre stories are revealed, and soon they start to speculate about the girl.

Is she telling the truth or hiding unsettling secrets of her own?
