"Through this character I attempt to understand more fully and to give better meaning to my perceptions of what is going on here on Planet Earth, and the greatest mystery of all the mysteries: the why of existence itself. Through Ford I use everything I can reach in the total knowledge of mankind to elaborate this mystery and to arm my characters for the quest. I try to entertain myself with their adventures, hoping that what entertains me may also entertain others–so these books, like life itself, are not all grim purpose and trembling truths. They are fun to write; for some they will be fun to read."~Don Pendleton

Don Pendleton's Ashton Ford Paranormal Detective Series

This Ford adventure begins with a summons from an enigmatic man reported to have died one hundred and fifty years ago. The mind-blowing mystery begins to unwind within a magnificent mansion perched high above the Pacific Ocean. Ford finds himself surrounded by luxury and the flesh and blood "ghosts" of people from the distant past. In the baffling confusion of time and space, Ford's keen and awesome talents must now pierce the secret of the house; while his heart, at the mercy of an ageless and beautiful sculptress, follows a dangerous path of its own.

What intrigued Ashton Ford about this sadistically brutal "Jane Doe" case was that there were no clues except a few satanic symbols. The silent, mysterious beauty of the woman, why someone wanted her dead, or why the entire left hemisphere of her brain had been surgically removed, leaving her mute and helpless is the central mystery to be solved. It was the toughest case of Ford's career to reach that silent mind with his own and combat the evils of a deadly sex cult and the mysterious beings who threatened her life.
