The moor keeps its secrets. Some lie in graves. Others wait in the dark beneath the ruins of Project Winter Sun.
Peggy Cole's murder should have ended with the body. Instead, it opened a door into the past-- a forgotten sister, a Soviet scientist who defected during the Berlin blockade, and a hospital that vanished from the records, but not from memory. Its ruins still hum with sorrow and rage.
Drawn into the mystery, Lorne Turner confronts echoes of a Cold War nightmare: experiments that sought to erase trauma by erasing the soul. The victims, soldiers and one lost and lonely child, were left broken, their memories weaponised in the name of control. Their agony lingers in the earth, feeding a darkness that still hungers.
Haunted by war and shadowed by the djinn that shares his mind, Lorne is torn between madness and revelation. His visions reveal the dead reaching out from the ruins, pleading for release, demanding justice. But as the lines between science and sorcery blur, so too do the lines between saviour and monster.
Dead of the Winter Sun is book three in the Lorne Turner Supernatural Thrillers. A chilling, deeply human tale of inherited trauma, buried sins, and the ghosts that rise when we tamper with the mind's deepest wounds. Perfect for readers of Merrily Watkins and Rivers of London.

Author Biography
Joe Talon is an author used to walking in a place where you're never quite certain if the world is full of rainbows or shadows. Real life holds little interest. Having grown up on Exmoor, Joe has been fascinated by the mysterious and spooky places that dwell in the dark woodlands and quiet combes. In Joe's first series, the world is a little sideways from ours. It is full of shapes moving on the edge of our vision when they shouldn't and cold spots in warm places. For Joe, there is always the question, 'what would I do if'? When writing crime, Joe tangles with gangsters and dealers, murderers and thieves, all in the small town of Glastonbury. A place known for its otherness. Joe's Cornish adventures once more explore the supernatural blending with real world events. If you would like to know more, do come and join the Taloneers. You can easily find Joe in the usual haunts of writers, (I'm not allowed to give you my digital address). There are all kinds of mysteries and fun to be had. What spare time Joe has is spent with seven dogs, lots of walks, chaotic gardening, and exploring the strange worlds just the other side of what we think we know to be real. Who needs real life when there are books!
