Terror Strikes Downtown

A typical spring day in the town of Valentine, golden sunshine and green hills on the outside, while embezzlement and extortion lie underneath, where desperation rules the lives of many.

Deadly explosions suddenly rock the town, spreading fear and terror, leading to panic and violence, leaving dozens of dead bodies and wounded souls in their wake. Rumors of terrorism fly through town, and the lives of many are changed forever.

It is up to crime reporter Ace Herron to sort the truth from the fantasy, to bring sanity to speculation, not to mention beating national media. The case could make his career, but standing in the way is Enoch Teed, a hostile editor who wants a certain kind of one without Ace Herron in it.

From Stephen Seitz, the internationally acclaimed author of "Sherlock Holmes and the Plague of Dracula," comes "Terror Strikes Downtown," the second in the Ace Herron mystery series.
