THE COMPANY OF DEMONS

by Michael Jordan

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE: Thriller

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

The brutal murder of a friend leaves lawyer John Coleman stunned and sends shock waves through the city of Cleveland. The technique of the killing recalls memories of the Torso Murderer, who dismembered at least twelve people decades ago and vanished--eluding even the legendary Eliot Ness. Jennifer, the victim's beautiful daughter, hires John to handle her father's estate, and romantic feelings for her soon complicate his already troubled marriage. When John finds himself entangled with a cold-blooded biker gang, an ex-cop with a fuzzy past, and the drug-addicted son of the dead man, he struggles to make sense of it all. But he cannot escape a growing sense of dread.

Excerpt Two:

A deep breath helped to calm me. Oyster’s death had brought an ugly past alive. Just as I’d been assuring everyone, though, there was nothing wrong. My main task for the day was to pick Molly up after school and hope that she wouldn’t be too disappointed when she learned that we wouldn’t be visiting the skateboard park. We would head straight home for a quiet, uneventful spaghetti dinner. Cathy would have polished and set the oaken table. We would talk of things other than serial killers. She would remind me of her upcoming birthday dinner, with her sister and brother-in-law. Her parents would stare down at us from faded color photographs arranged in thin wooden frames on checkered blue-and-white wallpaper. There were photographs of my mom, too, with her tight-lipped smile.

One photo of my father, handsome in a blue uniform, hung on the wall. Whenever Cathy said grace, my eyes would wander to the particular picture, and I would recall games of catch, walleye fishing on the lake, our hikes through the Metroparks. We’d wander the trails there most Saturday mornings, just my dad and me. Afterward, he’d take me to Pete’s Hotdogs on Lorain, and we’d gorge on dogs stuffed into steamed buns and topped with local Stadium mustard and greasy fried onions. Those were the memories I’d try to focus on.

But I could never, ever block out the rest.

Interview with Michael Jordan

1. Do your characters seem to hijack the story or do you feel like you have the reigns of the story?  I have some control over the story, but after reading Stephen King’s book On Writing, I learned the importance of letting the characters be your guide.

2. Convince us why you feel your book is a must read. I can promise you unexpected twists and turns, an eye-opening view of the real-life history of the Torso Killer and Eliot Ness, and courtroom scenes that are as fresh as anything you’ll find. Oh—and shadowy characters that will never cease to surprise you!

3. Have you written any other books that are not published? One—an early effort that will not see the light of day, but I learned a great deal going through the process.

4. Pen or type writer or computer? Computer first, but I often edit after printing pages.

5. Anything you would like to say to your readers and fans? A heartfelt thanks for the great reception that The Company of Demons has received. The reviews and ratings have meant so much.
