Josh Lanyon Hits The Ground Running…And A HUGE Giveaway!
I first ran across Josh Lanyon’s Fatal Shadows in a small bookstore called Mysterious Galaxy. I picked up the book and fell in love with Josh’s first creation—Adrien English.
Now, many years later—and quite a few books as well, Josh takes us once again to places only Josh can imagine. I am thrilled to host Josh here for the Dangerous Ground Blog Tour and if you’ve never picked up a Lanyon book, do yourself a favour and grab as many as you can.
Cancel cable, tell the pool boy to put on some clothes and stock up on coffee beans and/or tea. It’s gonna be a wild ride.

Fish and Ghosts Blurb
When his Uncle Mortimer died and left him Hoxne Grange, the family’s Gilded Age estate, Tristan Pryce knew he wasn’t going to have an easy time of it. He was to be the second generation of Pryces to serve as a caretaker for the estate, a way station for spirits on their final steps to the afterlife. The ghosts were the simple part. He’d been seeing boo-wigglies since he was a child. No, the difficult part was his own family. Determined to establish Tristan’s insanity, his loving relatives hire Dr. Wolf Kincaid and his paranormal researchers, Hellsinger Investigations, to prove the Grange is not haunted.
Skeptic Wolf Kincaid has made it his life’s work to debunk the supernatural. After years of cons and fakes, he can’t wait to reveal the Grange’s ghostly activity is just badly leveled floorboards and a drafty old house. The Grange has more than a few surprises for him, including its prickly, reclusive owner. Tristan Pryce is much less insane and much more attractive than Wolf wants to admit and when his Hellsinger team unwittingly release a ghostly serial killer on the Grange, Wolf is torn between his skepticism and protecting the man he’d been sent to discredit.
