Consumed

Sergeant Nathaniel Brannick is trapped in Victorian London during a period of disease, crime, and insatiable vices. One night, Brannick returns from work to find an eerie messenger in his flat who warns him of dark things to come.

When his next case involves a victim who suffered from consumption, he uncovers clues that lead him to believe the messenger's warning. Despite his incredulity, he can't help but wonder if the practical man he once was has been altered by an investigation encompassed in the paranormal. That is, until he meets the witch hunters, and everything takes a turn for the worse.

'Suspense builds all the way from the first page to the last page of Justin Alcala's CONSUMED. And a Victorian Britain backdrop enriches the story even more by creating a lively setting--a setting that will remained burned in readers' minds long after they finish the book. Readers will not be disappointed by this captivating novel, and I look forward to reading future works by the author.' - Chris Bedell, Burning Bridges
