Book Synopsis
From USA Today bestselling author Keith R. A. DeCandido comes a paranormal mystery of epic proportions.
When Detective Domenica Kiernan solved the murder of a mayor's aide--killed by a vampire--she never imagined she'd find herself at the vanguard of the NYPD's latest special squad: the Supernatural Crimes Unit.
Tasked with closing cases involving magic and monsters, the SCU has dealt with a shape-changing domovoy committing assault in Chelsea, the murder of a kappa on City Island, a thieving Taotie in Chinatown--and their latest, two murder victims whose corpses have been liquefied by a powerful spell.
Kiernan and the rest of the SCU must find the connection between the two victims and figure out who cast the spell that destroyed the corpses. Soon, their investigation leads to a malevolent magic-user who yearns for limitless power, whose plans go far beyond disposing of a dead body. He'll stop at nothing to achieve his goals--including kidnapping Bobby, Kiernan's ten-year-old son.
The SCU has no choice: they must go rogue to find Bobby and stop the wizard before he unleashes hell on Earth!
