The Forever Detective Series “Catch-Up” Sale is Happening NOW

WELCOME TO THE FOREVER DETECTIVE SERIES

FOR THOSE WHO ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH THIS SERIES, HERE’S A QUICK OVERVIEW…

It all starts in New York City, 1947. Former police officer, Rafael Jones has returned from Europe where he oversaw a special international team who gathered evidence for the Nuremberg trials. Now he’s opened up for business as a private investigator and already has two cases lined up. But little does he know that these two cases are connected… in more ways than one.

Rafael is about to discover there’s another side to the city, and the world, that he never dreamed existed. For he soon finds himself facing the supernatural in the form of a cult run by vampires. Their leader is both surprising, and yet a historical figure who was described by his assassins as almost impossible to kill.

Sensing there’s something more to our hero, he decides to make Rafael his new ‘brother’ in blood, hoping to make him part of the plan to retake Russia as a new Tsar.

However, Rafael has other plans. Although tainted by leader’s vampiric blood, he holds on to hope and humanity. Most of all, he learns to use the new abilities that come with his condition his own way, in order to keep the innocent (both human and otherworldly) safe, one case at a time.

With each new adventure (book) he learns more about the occult world, both through strange encounters, and through research with the help of friends– largely, those who had helped the Allies in the war as a covert team (code-named W. I. T. C. H. Hunters) dealing with the supernatural. In spite of everything, he remains grounded, using interviews, money trails, and other traditional procedural steps to research his cases.

“Forever Haunted” Has Received a Kirkus Review…

“A well-paced and quirky love letter to classic crime fiction.”

In the second installment of Helen Krummenacker’s Forever Detective series, a private investigator looks into a 20-year-old murder while also adjusting to his new life as a vampire. 

In the summer of 1947, Rafael Jones, a former cop and now a P.I., is hired by his friend Jimmy Clarke to debunk a rumor that the upstate New York family home Jimmy recently inherited is haunted, so that he can more easily sell the property. The rumor, however, is shown to be true when Rafael wakes up to a gruesome sight: a ghostly reenactment of a woman’s murder. He’s no stranger to the supernatural; a few months before, he was turned into a vampire himself. He knows that to help the woman’s spirit move on, he must identify her killer and bring him to justice. After establishing a friendly, albeit limited, rapport with the woman’s ghost through music, and with the help of clairvoyant Methuselah “Medium” Brown, he learns that her name is Phoebe Travers and that she was killed in 1925 by an ex-boyfriend who was the father of her child—a mobster named Lorenzo Russo. Rafael, with the help of friends, former police colleagues, and long-distance girlfriend Clara Thomas, gets to work tracking down Russo, finding new evidence, and going head-to-head with the mob. As he investigates, he teaches himself how to control his new vampiric abilities and use them to his advantage—all while resisting the urge to bite someone. 

In this sequel to Forever’s Too Long (2019), Helen Krummenacker presents a highly entertaining paranormal murder mystery. Rafael is a smart, compassionate protagonist who narrates his story with wry humor, especially when it comes to his vampiric condition: “It was nice to be sitting next to a pretty woman without feeling an itch around my teeth,” he says during his first interaction with Phoebe’s ghost. The cast of characters is impressively diverse and well developed, and the story moves quickly while offering sharp and detailed descriptions. Fans of vintage detective stories will enjoy this novel’s supernatural twist on a genre full of gruff detectives, organized crime, and femmes fatales.

*THE REVIEW:

Caroline D. Henry

5.0 out of 5 stars I’ve Become a Forever Fan of the Forever Detective

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2023

Verified Purchase Disclaimer up front–I know the author and was a beta reader for this book, however that is a very different experience than just reading it through purely for the pleasure of it. I purchased the e-book of Forever Chosen two days ago, and I’ve zipped through it as a fun read. Reluctant vampire and dedicated detective Rafael Jones comes up against his archenemy Russian criminal vampire Rasputin who hopes to corrupt and co-opt the Zionist movement in post World War II New York. This guy is very powerful, and it’s a good thing Raf has the aid of a demonologist, a dryad, a sharp secretary, a NYPD cop, and maybe a Russian princess–and you will find yourself hoping that’s enough. Helen Krummenacker successfully combines the detective noir genre with elements of fantasy and legend. I can hardly wait for the next book.

Also, if you’re a fan of Smashwords here’s another piece of news…
