ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - June 17, 2017 - PRLog -- If magic is real, one author has captured its darkest side in a paranormal thriller set to release on June 23, 2017.

"The Ruined Man" follows two Albuquerque detectives, Victor Wolf and Frank Barber, as they investigate a serious of strange occurrences in the city. What they find challenges their understanding of the divide between the living and the dead.
