The Salt Mine #1-3
The Salt Mine Boxed Set 1-3
Welcome to the Salt Mine, the secret organization that monitors and manages supernatural activity from its headquarters in the deep mineral deposits underneath Detroit, Michigan, USA. When magic is real, someone has to rein it in. This boxed set contains three Salt Mine novels.
Money Hungry (The Salt Mine Series 1)
Salt Mine agent David Wilson—codename Fulcrum—has worked at the black ops agency for more than a decade. He's faced down demons, devils, faeries, and ghosts, as well as a legion of other things that go bump in the night.
But now the Salt Mine has a new recruit, and new recruits need training. Teresa Martinez—codename Lancer—excelled as an FBI agent, but how will she fare in a world where the fiends of Hell are real, magicians do more than card tricks, and karma is a real bitch? During her orientation, a series of deaths among pharmaceutical CEOs takes a bizarre turn, and Wilson must investigate arcane forces with Martinez—still in training—in tow.
Feeding Frenzy (The Salt Mine Series 2)
A spate of animal attacks at zoos across the US has attracted the attention of the Salt Mine's Russian counterpart, the Ivory Tower. What would cause normally docile herbivores to attack people? More importantly, why are the Russians interested?
Agents Wilson and Martinez—codenames Fulcrum and Lancer—are on the case. As Wilson tracks down the Russian operative, Martinez is hot on the trail investigating the most recent mauling. Even though they are hunting different prey, their paths keep converging and they always seem to be one step behind. Will they prevail or will the Ivory Tower beat them to the punch?
Ground Rules (The Salt Mine Series 3)
A popular paranormal investigation TV show publicly announces that it has crystal-clear video footage of a ghost attack while filming in Britain with plans to show it on the next broadcast. The Salt Mine can't let that happen, so agent David Wilson—codename Fulcrum—is sent to destroy the evidence and find out why the ghosts of Great Missenden have breached the Pacification Treaty by attacking a human.
The mission takes a grim turn when a flayed body is found in a bucolic nearby park and suddenly British law enforcement is involved. Forced to dodge their investigation while performing his own, Wilson discovers that something terrible is lurking amidst the picturesque beauty of the Chiltern Hills of Buckinghamshire.
With the help of agent Alicia Moncrief—codename Clover—Wilson scours beyond the mortal world into the enchanted faerie realm of the Magh Meall, and even into the land of the dead itself. Will his efforts be enough to forge a renewed peace?
Welcome to The Salt Mine! The exciting new urban fantasy series featuring covert agents who keep a lid on the wild esoteric world of the occult. If you enjoy the TV shows Supernatural, Grimm, Eureka, The Librarians, Warehouse 13, X-Files, Relic Hunter, or Fringe, you'll enjoy the Salt Mine.

This boxed set contains the first three volumes of what promises to be a great supernatural series. It focuses on two agents (Wilson and Martinez) of the Salt Mine—a joint FBI CIA venture to protect America from the supernatural. Together with a rather mysterious and intimidating leader, and a conjoined pair of librarians, they track down supernatural threats around the world to minimize the harm they cause and the danger they might pose to the country.
Frankly, there are a lot of books that have at their heart a government effort to secretly protect the nation from supernatural creatures. What makes this one stand apart is the originality of the threats and the range of problems. In Money Hungry, a wealthy pharmaceutical executive is dying because he can’t stop eating money. In Feeding Frenzy, nice peaceful herbivores have been transformed into carnivorous predators. And in Ground Rules, the ghosts of a haunted monastery appear to be breaking the treaty and killing humans who come onto the grounds. The range of these threats keep the stories interesting while the authors build a fascinating world of secret paranormal threats.
It's a fresh look at a genre that has become a little too dependent on werewolves and vampires.

still unusual and well written
I enjoy these mysteries. This one was even more of a team effort, and this series could literally go on for ever with the interesting characters.
