Hidden Fury

By Bjorn Hasseler & Jason Whitley
Hidden Fury by Bjorn Hasseler & Jason Whitley digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

There are creatures lurking in our world. Obscure creatures long relegated to myth and legend. They have been sighted by a lucky-or unlucky-few, some have even been photographed, but their existence remains unproven and unrecognized by the scientific community.

These creatures, long thought gone, have somehow survived; creatures from our nightmares haunting the dark places. They swim in our lakes and bays, they soar the night skies, they hunt in the woods. Some are from our past, some from other worlds, and others have always been with us-watching us, fearing us, hunting us.

These are the cryptids, and Systema Paradoxa tells their tales.

***

Trouble's brewing in Bowie.

When a decapitated body turns up at a Little Library, there's more than a story to tell. Special Agent Tiffany Watson of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit catches the case when the local PD reaches out for assistance.

But all is not as it seems as evidence unbelievably points toward a supernatural culprit. Subterfuge or cold, hard facts? The mystery goes much deeper than two clearly related deaths.

Can Watson solve the case before the body count grows?

Hidden Fury Reviews

4.0
“This is my first encounter with the Systema Paradoxa Series and I like the premises. A mystery involving some type of crypid. Just throw a crypid in there and I'm interested. For Hasseler's entry volume, a modern-day encounter with Goat-Man - and MURDER! Tiffany Watson is an FBI profiler who is just - normal. Finally! No childhood trauma that would remove a person from the force in the real world, no man-hating freakouts for no reason, no above-superhuman intellect where she's smarter than everyone, and an accurate take on what a profiler would do. She's a very likable character who finds a couple of local officers to tag along with into the investigation of a couple of decapitations and the prime suspect is maybe the fabled Goat-Man. A quick read and because it is well written an enjoyable read that makes me want to check out the rest of the series by other authors. The lead-up to the conclusion happens a bit quickly and I doubt an FBI profiler is going to have an AR-15 in her vehicle as SOP gear but that's kind of a nitpick. The conclusion was something I quite enjoyed with maybe one or two issues of why something happened but they are small. The take on the Goat-Man is well done and nice nods to recognizing that Watson is essentially in an X-Files story adds even more realism. I enjoyed my read and would recommend at least this one (and maybe the series) for my friends who enjoy cryptid stories. Final Grade - B+”

With author James Chambers, Jason collaborates and illustrates the sometimes-prose, sometimes graphic novel, The Midnight Hour, which is being collected into one volume by eSpec Books. His and Scott Eckelaert's newspaper comic strip, Sea Urchins, has been collected into four volumes. Along with Box Mountain's Cryptid series, Jason is working on a crime noir graphic novel. His portrait of Charlotte Hawkins Brown is on display in the Charlotte Hawkins Brown Museum.
