I’m constantly awed by the inventiveness of the author to bring larger threats with each novel…[and] the further development of the villainous characters, who are just as integral to the story, and have their own maniacal motivations at play. [T]he dark corners are darker than ever with Vick’s usual flair for the shadowy atmospheres in his sharp narrative voice and excellent choice of lexis."--K.C.

Why can’t I turn down a woman in distres? just took a case from the tearful, but very rich, widow whose husband supposedly died at the hands of a century-old phantom. He was the owner of Barker Steel Mill and it doesn’t take me long to realise that something very weird is going on there.

Not that she isn’t talented, intelligent, and capable, because she is. She is also drop-dead gorgeous and massively distracting. She’ll prove to be an asset no doubt, assuming we live through the week that is. The paranormal? It’s all nonsense, but proving it might just get me killed.
