Book One of a brand new River series! Thousands of remains rest within the marbled halls of Lexon Mausoleum. Its daytime visitors come to mourn, unaware of the secret hidden behind its walls: a secret so unusual, so powerful, that people will kill to obtain it. Nate and his colleagues were hired to protect the mausoleum. Its mere existence activates spirits and attracts dangerous creatures, making it a perilous place to safeguard. Using their gift to patrol the blocks that surround the building, they search the River to discover and neutralize ghostly threats. When one of their own is brutally murdered, they learn their defenses are not as strong as they thought; an enemy has outwitted them, threatening to overtake the mausoleum from the inside. Nate, Crier, and the other members of the team face a daunting task: keep the mausoleum safe, even as saboteurs work to undermine their efforts. It will require unleashing their own innate abilities to save the mausoleum from destruction. Mausoleum: Anomaly is the first novel in a brand-new series set within The River universe made popular by the books of The River and The Downwinders series. It contains all new characters and locations, and while it tackles aspects of the River in new and interesting ways, it will be immediately familiar to those who have read the other works. This new series is stand-alone, meaning no prior knowledge of other books is necessary to enjoy it. Praise for the books from The River series! “Truly scary.” "Finally found a book that got under my nerves!" “Couldn't put it down...wanted the story to go on and on.” “Very few authors can pull me in immediately and make me feel as though I were reading about old friends. Stephen King always has, and I can now add Michael Richan to the list.” "Awesome ghost story with wonderful characters and a great plot!" “Some of the most delightful reading I have done in a long time.” "This was a great horror book. I absolutely loved it, and I know you will too! Keep the lights on when reading!"
