When the murders hint at a creature from folklore, Cooper M. Reid is pulled into his most dangerous case yet.
Cooper M. Reid once worked as a Special Agent for a covert government division, investigating the kinds of phenomena most people refuse to believe exist. After vanishing for a year and returning with no memory of where he’d been, he now follows an unexplainable pull toward those threatened by the supernatural.
That pull leads him to a terrifying new case where members of an inner-city gang are dying in gruesome, mysterious ways, and the pattern points to a mythological creature Cooper always believed was nothing more than fiction. As he follows the trail of violence through the city streets, he finds himself trapped between a brewing gang war and a relentless monster that refuses to stop hunting.
Rival Blood is the second novel in the Cooper M. Reid supernatural thriller series, blending dark folklore, tense investigation, and high-stakes danger as Cooper faces a monster that may be far more real than legend.

Barry's stories are typically going to be a little spooky, if not downright scary (but this is not always the case). But he also offers glimmers of hope here and there. Some of his work could be categorized as Christian fiction, though there are typically elements of the paranormal and horror running throughout.
Barry works as a ghostwriter and lives in Virginia with his wife, three kids, and too many pets.
