The Spy Files

The war on privacy hits home in book 7 of the bestselling Brent Marks Legal Thriller and Courtroom Drama Series from the author critics hail as: "One of the strongest thriller writers on the scene." Lawyer Brent Marks takes a Freedom of Information Act case for a journalist accused of espionage, and finds himself the target of an abusive federal investigation that strains his relationship with his fiance, who happens to also be an FBI Agent. Can Brent come out on the other side of the case with his own liberty intact? Where privacy and government collide, Brent must find a way to win the case, and, at the same time, save himself. Critical Praise Eade is not only a brilliant writer; he also calls attention to the atrocities that surround us, hiding in our own closets. Said once and said again, Kenneth Eade is one of our strongest thriller writers on the scene and the fact that he draws his stories from the contemporary philosophical landscape is very much to his credit. Highly Recommended." Grady Harp, Amazon Hall of Fame, Top 100 and Vine Voice Scroll up and buy your copy of The Spy Files now or read for free on Kindle Unlimited. **

The Collected Supernatural and Weird Fiction of James Hain Friswell-Ghost Stories and Phantom Fancies

A rare treasure of ghostly tales from the Victorian era Shropshire born James Hain Friswell (1825-78) was a prolific author of the Victorian age. A noted defender of the Christian faith, much of his non-fiction output quite naturally concentrated on religious matters. He also contributed to a number of journals of his time, wrote non-fiction on a plethora of subjects and penned a number of novels and short stories. He was especially regarded in his own time for his efforts to improve the quality of literature for young readers. In this special Leonaur edition is Friswell's small, but select, collection of the ghostly and other worldly fiction. Here is Ghost Stories and Phantom Fancies, a dozen or so pieces (including a poem) to please aficionados of supernatural fiction as it was a written during its golden age including, 'The Dead Man's Story,' 'The Black Madonna,' 'The Oxford Ghost,' 'A Phantom of the Du Barry' and others. This comparatively concise work published in 1858 is, of course, rare on the antiquarian market so the Leonaur editors are pleased to be able to represent it to modern readers as part of our Collected Supernatural and Weird Fiction series.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.**
