    J. D. Barker

    eBook (Mariner Books, June 27, 2017)
    Se7en meets The Silence of the Lambs in this dark and twisting novel from the author Jeffery Deaver called “a talented writer with a delightfully devious mind.” Two days to save her . . . For over five years, the Four Monkey Killer has terrorized the residents of Chicago. When his body is found, the police quickly realize he was on his way to deliver one final message, one which proves he has taken another victim who may still be alive. One day . . . As the lead investigator on the 4MK task force, Detective Sam Porter knows that even in death, the killer is far from finished. When he discovers a personal diary in the jacket pocket of the body, Porter finds himself caught up in the mind of a psychopath, unraveling a twisted history in hopes of finding one last girl, all while struggling with personal demons of his own. Zero. With only a handful of clues, the elusive killer’s identity remains a mystery. Time is running out as the Four Monkey Killer taunts from beyond the grave in this masterfully written fast-paced thriller. “Creepy, scary . . . and impossible to put down! The Fourth Monkey is everything a thriller should be—a must-read!”—Heather Graham, New York Times best-selling author of Law and Disorder “A twisted, movie-worthy serial killer thriller.”—Crime by the Book
  • Forsaken

    J.D. Barker

    eBook (Hampton Creek Press, Nov. 14, 2014)
    J.D. Barker's Forsaken is a remarkable debut, a gripping tale of suspense in the tradition of Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and John Saul. Truly the birth of a new master in the genre.“J.D. Barker is a one-of-a-kind writer and that’s a rare and special thing. Stephen King comes to mind and Lee Child, John Sandford. All one-of-a-kinds. Don’t miss anything J.D. writes.”James Patterson#1 International Bestselling AuthorBram Stoker Award Nominee - Superior Achievement in a First Novel“Barker’s ambitious debut is aimed squarely at fans of classic horror.

  • Miss Adeline's Match

    Joanna Barker

    Paperback (Covenant Communications, April 1, 2019)
    Miss Adeline Hayes is the perfect lady's companion: pleasant, conversational, and unceasingly proper. But when her closest friend, Charity Edgeworth, breaks off her arranged marriage without explanation, even Adeline's superior skills are put to the test. Charity's father banishes the two young women to the country, sending Adeline with a charge to find Charity a husband or suffer dire consequences. As Adeline takes on the role of reluctant matchmaker, she discovers more than one obstacle in her path. Not only does Charity prefer escaping in books to socializing, but Adeline soon finds her own attentions distracted by the standoffish--and irritatingly handsome--Mr. Evan Whitfield. Amidst an eventful foxhunt and the unexpected arrival of Charity's former betrothed, Adeline simply doesn't have time for a battle of wits with Evan. But the two are continually drawn together until Adeline begins to question her tightly guarded convictions about love and marriage. However, when secrets are revealed and truths made known, Adeline must face her most fearsome obstacle yet: herself.

  • Forsaken: Book One of the Shadow Cove Saga

    J.D. Barker

    Hardcover (Hampton Creek Press, Nov. 30, 2014)
    "A talented writer with a delightfully devious mind!" Jeffery Deaver #1 International Bestselling Author Book One of the Shadow Cove Saga Inspired by Actual Events Excerpt from the Journal of Clayton Stone – 1692 She was examined today without torture at Shadow Cove township on the charge of witchcraft. She said she was wholly innocent of the crime and has never in life renounced God. I watched as they brought her out. A poor, sickly thing, worn by her time behind the walls of her prison. Her bared feet and hands bound in leather, her clothing tattered to that of ruin. Despite such condition, her head was held high, her eyes meeting those of her accusers. She still refuses to provide her name so we remain unable to search baptismal records, nor has her family stepped forward to claim her as their own. We have no reason to believe she is anything but an orphaned child. I find myself unable to look at her directly in the moments preceding her trial. She is watching me though; with eyes of the deepest blue, she is watching me.

  • Toxic: A Book for Men

    Jon Parker

    language (, Sept. 9, 2019)
    You are stifled. You may not even realize it right now, but the society that surrounds you seeks to stifle you, suffocate you, and box you in. The rules they implement are walls designed to close in around you, crushing you and your spirit into oblivion. They create rules that they say are for safety, but what they do is sanitize you, keep you away from growth.What will you do about that? Will you sit idly by and let the world control you? Will you let society tell you who you are or how to be a man? I thought not.Man must do that which his heart calls him to do, otherwise, he will lose it. "Don't give into your fears. If you do you won't be able to talk to your heart," says Coelho in The Alchemist. The loss of one's heart is death in this life, and this is what you see when you look at your surroundings, modern Man: death. The rules supposedly meant to promote safety in truth often promote the dying of the soul. Go forward, follow your hearts calling, and if they call you "TOXIC" for being who you were created to be, then laugh and forge forward, for you know which of you is toxic, which of you is dead, and which of you is alive!
