The Company of Demons
by Michael Jordan

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE: Thriller

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

The brutal murder of a friend leaves lawyer John Coleman stunned and sends shock waves through the city of Cleveland. The technique of the killing recalls memories of the Torso Murderer, who dismembered at least twelve people decades ago and vanished--eluding even the legendary Eliot Ness. Jennifer, the victim's beautiful daughter, hires John to handle her father's estate, and romantic feelings for her soon complicate his already troubled marriage. When John finds himself entangled with a cold-blooded biker gang, an ex-cop with a fuzzy past, and the drug-addicted son of the dead man, he struggles to make sense of it all. But he cannot escape a growing sense of dread.

EXCERPT TWO:

A deep breath helped to calm me. Oyster’s death had brought an ugly past alive. Just as I’d been assuring everyone, though, there was nothing wrong. My main task for the day was to pick Molly up after school and hope that she wouldn’t be too disappointed when she learned that we wouldn’t be visiting the skateboard park. We would head straight home for a quiet, uneventful spaghetti dinner. Cathy would have polished and set the oaken table. We would talk of things other than serial killers. She would remind me of her upcoming birthday dinner, with her sister and brother-in-law. Her parents would stare down at us from faded color photographs arranged in thin wooden frames on checkered blue-and-white wallpaper. There were photographs of my mom, too, with her tight-lipped smile.

One photo of my father, handsome in a blue uniform, hung on the wall. Whenever Cathy said grace, my eyes would wander to the particular picture, and I would recall games of catch, walleye fishing on the lake, our hikes through the Metroparks. We’d wander the trails there most Saturday mornings, just my dad and me. Afterward, he’d take me to Pete’s Hotdogs on Lorain, and we’d gorge on dogs stuffed into steamed buns and topped with local Stadium mustard and greasy fried onions. Those were the memories I’d try to focus on.

But I could never, ever block out the rest.

GUEST POST:

Five Reasons Why You Should Read My Book:

Five reasons why someone should read my book? Here you are: First, although the novel is set in modern times, the historical background is fascinating. Years ago, a notorious serial killer labeled The Torso Murderer brutally killed at least 12 victims, eluded legendary crime fighter Eliot Ness, and then vanished. Even today, the identity of the murderer remains a mystery. Second, the book focuses on how mistakes from the past can return to haunt us—in more ways than one. Third, my background as a trial lawyer helped me craft original courtroom scenes that are based on my own experiences and knowledge of how the system works. Fourth, like the characters I encountered as an attorney, the characters in my book are deeply flawed and often have hidden motivations. Fifth, readers have complimented the dialogue as raw and compelling. The way that the characters express themselves may not always be comfortable, but it is honest and lends itself to a depth of emotion.

Michael Jordan obtained his undergraduate degree from Ohio Wesleyan University, with highest honors, and his law degree from George Washington University, where he was a member of the Law Review. A trial lawyer and arbitrator for over three decades, he has been recognized as an Ohio Super Lawyer and named to Best Lawyers in America. A member of the International Association of Crime Writers, The Company of Demons is his first novel.

An avid traveler, Michael has climbed Mt. Fuji, swam in The Devil’s Pool on the cusp of Victoria Falls, trekked a glacier in Patagonia, and visited numerous other countries. Yes—an international thriller lies in the future! He has also acted in several theatrical productions and his experience on stage is helpful in creating characters for his novels.
