Sgt. Janus Returns Jim Beard

Who is Lady Janus?

SGT JANUS RETURNS provides tantalizing clues to the identity of the mysterious, raven-haired woman who appears out of nowhere in a sleepy little village in the countryside and exhibits characteristics of Sgt. Roman Janus, the ghost-hunter extraordinaire who is believed dead.

At this intriguing woman's side rides Joshua Hargreaves, a jazz-loving, self-styled layabout who is captivated with "Lady Janus" and her odd proclivity for seeking out spirits and breaking their bonds to the mortal plane. As the mystery of her true identity deepens, Hargreaves takes on the role of her chronicler-and too often her reluctant partner in her paranormal pursuits.

Sgt. Janus is gone...or is he? The answer to the question lies within these pages, but the journey to its ultimate revelation is fraught with frightening locales, mortal enemies, and the relentless spirits of the dead. Prepare to have your expectations stretched to their extremes.

First published in 2014, SGT JANUS RETURNS thrilled fans of the character introduced in SGT JANUS SPIRIT-BREAKER, the groundbreaking first volume of occult detection by Jim Beard, and makes its comeback in this newly edited and expanded edition.
