Description
When
three corpses are found at a construction site in Philadelphia, homicide
detective Samantha Ballard is assigned to investigate the bizarre deaths. The
bodies seem like a hoax – withered like ancient mummies, yet dressed in modern
day clothing. As more mummified corpses begin to appear throughout the city,
Samantha must embark on an investigation that erodes the line between the
possible and impossible.
Jack
Allyn, a radio DJ who thinks his career is in a downward spiral, has his world
rocked by the unusual murder of his friend. As Jack begins to search for
answers, he finds himself coming face to face with a force that is as malevolent
as it is entrancing.
With
his life in danger, Jack must join forces with Samantha to save the city from
an evil that threatens the people of Philadelphia. But with the odds stacked
against them, can Jack and Samantha save their city from a primeval force with
a deadly purpose?
My Review
Michael Bradley is a great author. His attention to detail is wonderful. I am always up for a good crime thriller and that is exactly what he gives us with Sirens in the Night, plus he adds a supernatural twist. I love that the story is set in Philadelphia. I lived there a few years ago, so I was impressed with how well Bradley described the area, the people, and the dialogue.
One of the main characters is a female detective named Samantha Ballard. I enjoyed her character the most because she is strong and incredibly witty. The perfect city cop. While he touched on the back story of each main character, Bradley doesn't get carried away which kept me intensely interested in the plot.
Dehydrated bodies are showing up around the city and everyone involved in the investigation is stumped. With some solid detective work and a lesson in Greek mythology, Samantha realizes something immortal is stalking Philadelphia and she figures out exactly what needs to be done.
An awesome supernatural thriller - 5 stars!
