The Disturbed
The creature masquerading as Sarah Burke is back… and it intends to keep all its promises. In the slums of New Orleans, a small boy lies catatonic at the scene of a brutal murder. Meanwhile, Rev and Rae retrieve a book that may finally hold the answers to the mysterious abilities of the Jar of Nephren-Ka.
When Rev is called to consult on the murder, he is embroiled in a plot so nefarious and twisted, it will push him to the limits of his sanity. A plot that seems intended to break the detective, and leave him a crumpled shell of the man he once was.
Facing Burke for the final time, Rev races against the clock to save everyone he loves… and toward a conclusion that will change him forever.

About the author
Brian Hill
6 books27 followersBrian Hill is an IT geek turned sci-fi and cosmic horror author.
His most popular book, Unconstrained, begins by asking the question: what could possibly make the US government nuke its own citizens (it's AI, of course, but not in the way you think).
His biggest series, Parata Occult Mysteries, is his answer to what would happen if you took a huge Native American PI, jammed him into the orbit of New Orleans in the 80's, and had him fall headfirst into Cthulhu.
His next book, coming next year, is set in the same universe as Unconstrained, just 250 years in the future. It follows an apocalyptologist, a scoundrel, and a barbarian as they traverse a very strange, yet hauntingly familiar world.

solid entry, abrupt ending
Another solid entry in Hill’s Cthulhu-and-adjacent-beastie mystery procedural series. The book gets down to business quickly, and (unfortunately) ends just as abruptly, on a downbeat note that felt like a deflated cliffhanger.
I’m still left wanting more with these characters and this setting, but this felt like a story that just sort of stopped.
4 eldritch Canopic Jars out of 5.
