As more inexplicable killings terrorize the city, Greg and his former flame Julie Sperling uncover a disturbing connection to an eccentric millionaire's controversial museum project. At its center stands an ancient English burial mound, meticulously reconstructed on American soil. Some say it never should have been moved. Others whisper darker warnings.
Now Greg and Julie are in a race against time with the LAPD to uncover the truth. But in a city of ten million souls, something is hunting them. Something that shouldn't exist. Something that leaves no survivors.
From the author who brought you Of Books and Beasts comes this pulse-pounding thriller that blends the police procedural with primal terror. Death by Legend asks the haunting question: What happens when mythology becomes reality?
Perfect for fans of Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child, James Rollins, and Michael Crichton, this intense supernatural thriller combines meticulous research with heart-stopping action. Ancient folklore crashes into modern-day Los Angeles with devastating consequences, forcing Greg and Julie to confront not only their past feelings but a present danger beyond anything they imagined.
Some legends don't stay buried.
Some legends kill.
