As Joe Conners, Provan\u2019s former partner, investigates his death at the hands of another cop, Connors discovers a house where Provan kept a room. Strange things happened at this brownstone, and Connors decides to get a room of his own. The house turns out to be a place that exists between the living and the Beyond, where the living can connect with the dead. Connors screws something up and now must fix his mistake.<\/p>\n<p>William Meikle is a master storyteller with the novella. The pace of <em>Broken Sigil<\/em> is smooth and quick, taking nothing away from the compelling story of love and loss. Connors is a sympathetic character that the reader can relate to. The caretaker of the house is interesting and enigmatic, and the house itself takes center stage. <em>Broken Sigil<\/em> is an excellent read that should be added to your library. Highly recommended.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Contains: blood, gore, violence, adult situations, and adult language<\/p>\n<p>Reviewed by Colleen Wanglund<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broken Sigil by William Meikle DarkFuse, 2014 ISBN N\/A; ASIN: BOOHUD0IEI Availability: Hardcover and Kindle &nbsp; Johnny Provan is a dead cop with secrets, including\u00a0 an affair with his former partner\u2019s wife.
