Jack Lear has overcome danger, depression, and death, but violence continues to haunt this Pittsburgh firefighter's existence. Fighting has led him closer to the source of his torment but has yet to bring the ultimate truth he seeks.
Now Jack finds himself hunting "the Dark Man" whose cruelty has caused so much pain in his life. The journey follows Jack as he works to protect the innocent, fights for the future of Ireland, and infiltrates a plot to ignite violence that is on the verge of exploding.
Can Jack defeat "the Dark Man," even as his mind becomes more tortured and confused? Will he stop the uprising in Ireland, or will predictions of doom overtake him? He can save them all, but in doing so, will he lose himself and the woman he loves through all of time and space? The water can save, but the fire still burns.
In Snakes of Strawberry Hill, the second novel in the Darkness at the Edge of Time series, we follow Jack Lear through his twisting and trying journey.
