THEN: The year is 1963. In an unsuspecting farmhouse in rural Ontario, a teenage Sylvia St. James has been abducted. Locked in the basement, Sylvia gets to know her kidnapper. They are kind, bringing her food and conversation; but they also have a temper. They are naïve, yet somehow knowledgeable, and Sylvia can’t help but think that she is not the first girl to wear these chains. Who is this captor, and what do they want?

NOW: Seven years after the farmhouse, a now 23 year-old Sylvia has been fired from her job at the newspaper. With the help of her coworker, Sylvia sets out to write her own book about the humanity and psychology of convicted criminals - a topic particularly close to her heart.

But traveling across the country to interview murderers opens old wounds that never quite healed. Sylvia must come to terms with her past, but the truth is not pretty. What really happened in that basement, all those years ago? And why is there no public record of Sylvia St. James ever escaping?

Believe nothing and question everything in this fast-paced, page-turning thriller by debut novelist, Jordan Murray.

The Clearing

July 11th, 2023

Paperback – ISBN: 9781777106058

The Larua Group.

They are fakes, phonies, frauds. Ghost hunters that clear both ‘ghosts’ and their clients’ pocketbooks.

Saving up for her Master’s degree in psychology, Beck Rollins is only in the group for the easy income it brings her. That, and the fact that her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Ledger, runs it. Beck’s younger and more empathetic sister, Kinsley, left the group years ago, not able to handle the guilt that comes with scamming innocent people.

When the group is contacted by a potential client willing to pay handsomely for their trademark service, a Clearing, Beck begs her sister to rejoin the group. To Kinsley’s moral dismay, she agrees, willing to do anything to help her big sister.

The group travels to Mull House, a Victorian mansion in Mulgrave, Nova Scotia, prepared for their largest con yet, but things go awry. When strange things begin to happen on their own and the mysterious homeowner vanishes, it becomes painfully clear that someone - or something - wants the group to suffer.

Alternating between the perspectives of the morally grey Beck and the naive Kinsley, this psychological suspense thriller will have readers reeling until the very last page.
