Dark Influence

by Chris Baron

The anniversary of a tragic accident is less than a week away and Will Calby is struggling to cope.

Then an out of the blue message draws him into the aftermath of a theft from one of Dublin's oldest museums. Although quite reluctant, he begins to search for information and to try to piece together the puzzle.

But when he stumbles unexpectedly across the answer, Will discovers a truth more terrifying than he could ever have imagined.

And little does he know, it will soon be time to face his deepest fear.
