The fourth book in Miguel Angel Hernandez Jr.’s award-winning series, The Windy City Terror is a Griffin Knight Horror Mystery. After escaping Sapphire Rushland’s repeated attempts on his life, Griffin Knight, a former homicide detective turned private investigator, and his closest circle of friends move to Chicago just before Christmas. “Griff” and his brother Alister establish a business they call Knight Chasers and they investigate cases in the area. Alister leaves Chicago to return to Seattle for a short time. In his brother’s absence, Griff uncovers the nefarious killings of the “Slay Bells Beast” as it tears across the city in an almost indiscernible pattern. Using his unique skill set and slightly futuristic weaponry, Griff unravels an astonishing set of circumstances that lead to the murderer.

Miguel Angel Hernandez Jr. has given his audience another fantastic book. The urban and marginally science fiction feel is just realistic enough to be credible. The author has researched the scientific elements in his story, and the results are mind-blowing. Hernandez provides different vantage points, shifting seamlessly from one character to the next. The plot will draw readers in from the first chapter and keep them turning pages until the end. The Griffin Knight Series is a collection that should preferably be read from beginning to end, but the author provides enough information about the ongoing backstory that readers can pick up any of the books and read them as stand-alone novellas. The Windy City Terror is bound to win more awards for Hernandez, so readers should grab the newest installment in the series quickly.
