Jon Steele

A detective investigates a series of murders that may be the handiwork of a gang of international killers—or fallen angels. A first novel.

The Watchers

"A follow-up to The Watchers is set 16 years later and finds former escort Katherine Taylor and her son, Max, living content but haunted lives in a small Washington State town under Swiss Guard protection while an exhausted Harper is compelled to investigate a defrocked priest's discovery of a monster in the Catacombs of Paris."

Part Two of the Angelus Trilogy

Angel City

The earthly?and cosmic?adventures of Katherine Taylor and Jay Harper come to an electrifying, action-packed conclusion in The Way of Sorrows, the final installment of Jon Steele's critically acclaimed Angelus Trilogy.

The Way of Sorrows

The highly anticipated final book in Jon Steele’s thrilling cosmic Angelus trilogy, The Way of Sorrows counts down the dwindling hours between humanity and the apocalypse. Steele again sets the stage for an epic battle, played out in Alaska, Russia, Switzerland, and ultimately Jerusalem, pitting the protectors of paradise—the eternal angels—against the “goons” of timeless evil. As the forces engage, we find the former escort Katherine Taylor having somehow survived the hideous scorched-earth attack on her Pacific Northwest home, but with no other signs of life in sight. Katherine soon realizes that her memory has been wiped clean, with few clues whether her toddler, Max, the child of prophecy who will guide creation through the next stage of evolution, has been killed or captured. Meanwhile, Detective Jay Harper is once again at Lausanne Cathedral, where he is following a new directive from his immortal, heavenly central command: rescue both Katherine and Max before the goons eliminate all trace of goodness from the world at midnight. What unfolds is a thrill-packed, action-filled journey that spans the globe—and the heavens. Combining science, religion, and fantasy, The Way of Sorrows is a wildly imaginative, inventive, one-of-a-kind finale to Jon Steele’s monumental trilogy.

Automotive Detailing in Detail

Every hour, childlike Marc Rochat circles the Lausanne cathedral as the watchmen have done for centuries. Then one day a beautiful woman draws him out of the shadows—the angel his mother once promised him would come. But Katherine Taylor is no angel. She’s one of the toughest and most resourceful call girls in Lausanne. Until something unnatural seething beneath a new client’s request sends her fleeing to the sanctuary of an unlikely protector. Into their refuge comes Jay Harper. The private detective has awakened in Lausanne with no memory of how he got there—and only one thing driving him forward: a series of unsettling murders he feels compelled to solve. Pray for the three strangers. They have something in common they can’t begin to imagine.

Lausanne, Švýcarsko. Do věže katedrály každou noc stoupá kulhavý mladík, který mluví se zvony. V honosném podkrovním apartmánu bydlí luxusní prostitutka, jež se ocitá ve smrtelném nebezpečí. A v jednom laciném hotýlku se probouzí soukromý detektiv, který nemá nejmenší tušení, jak se tam dostal. Jay Harper je ve Švýcarsku na stopě zmizelého olympijského sportovce. Detektiv holduje alkoholu, a tak si sotva dokáže vzpomenout, jak se včera večer dostal domů, a už vůbec nemá ponětí, proč tu práci vlastně vzal. Když v hotelovém baru potká nádhernou, ale odměřenou Katherine, uvědomí si, že není ve městě jediný, kdo se nechává najímat. Katherine je luxusní společnice, která nemůže uvěřit, jaké ji potkalo štěstí. To se však má brzy změnit. Pátrání po zmizelém muži přivádí Harpera ke Knize Henochově, starozákonnímu apokryfu, jenž vypráví o padlých andělech. Může být tato kniha klíčem k událostem, které se ve městě odehrály?

Jon Steele is a war junkie. Soon after starting work as an ITN cameraman, he began to feel strangely at home in the kind of places ordinary people get evacuated from. Before long, he was living for the rush which comes as bullets fly past your head and bombs explode at your feet. Normal life just couldn't compete... In Georgia, Jon filmed on the last flight out of the besieged airport at Sokhumi, as the plane took off in the dead of night, all lights extinguished, going the wrong way down the runway, directly towards the nearby steep and virtually invisible mountain range while Abkhazian soldiers fired off random anti-aircraft shells in their general direction. In Moscow, he filmed in the midst of chaos as armed rebels and Militia fought bloodthirsty, hand-to-hand battles on the streets around him. In Rwanda, he filmed the horrific aftermath to the most brutal massacre of modern times - and his own neck got far too close to the edge of a machete for comfort. In Zaire, he filmed endless fields full of young children deranged by hunger and ravaged by cholera. In Bosnia, Jon realised that he had, in fact, seen and filmed more than he could cope with, and finally spiralled out of control, deep into emotional meltdown. But somehow War Junkie is also an incredibly funny and exhilarating book. The humour is dark but sharp as broken glass. The action comes so thick and fast you can forget to breathe. War Junkie is shocking, hilarious, deeply moving and, ultimately, it packs a powerful psychological punch. It will challenge everything you thought you knew about modern warfare as it shines an unforgiving spotlight into some of the darkest recesses of recent history.
