Publisher's Synopsis
The small city of Tulle-sur-Mer. Winding city streets. The Blue Sparrow Inn. A secret passage. An agent of the Queen. A man in disguise. Long forgotten catacombs. Dusty bones. Large rats. Hidden agendas. Thieves. Murder. Revenge. What do those all have in common? A Whisper in the Dark.Stopping for the night after a weary day of travel should have been a trivial thing. For Navarr Doucette, an agent of the Queen on a secret assignment, he soon finds that it's quite the contrary when staying at the Blue Sparrow Inn. What should have been a quiet night of sleep before returning to the road in the morning soon turns into a frantic night of mystery and survival. A Whisper in the Dark is a thrilling tale of chilling suspense, dark mystery, and sinister intrigue.I became a fan of Alexander Dumas and his tales of the musketeers in my late teens. At that time I was also heavily into fantasy and supernatural tales, much like you would read in stories by Robert E. Howard, H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allen Poe, and R.A. Salvatore. From those five various authors and their influences I created the protagonist Navarr Doucette, as seen in A WHISPER IN THE DARK. I started writing stories about Navarr in various lengths from shorts to full novels back in 1994, so he and the world around him has been heavily fleshed out over the years. The world he lives in is very similar to Europe in the 1600s. In my stories many of the superstitions that people had during that era are not just superstitions and false fears as we know them to be today. In Navarr's world they exist, and things can be dark, mysterious, and downright evil.
