From New York Times
best-selling author, Kim
Harrison, comes the
fourth book in her
brilliant Hollows series;
packed with the perfect
balance of wry humour and
thrilling action, which
will delight fans of
thrillers and fantasy
alike. There's no rest
for the wicked, even
when the taint on your
soul isn't your fault. It
would be wise for witch
and bounty hunter,
Rachel Morgan, to keep a
low profile right now.
Her new reputation for
the dark arts has piqued
the interest of
Cincinnati's
night-prowlers, who
despise her and long to
bring an end to her
interference, one way or
another. Thats
going to be tricky when
her ex-boyfriend, Nick,
has stolen a priceless
Were artefact, and, as
tempting as it may be to
let the Weres him to
shreds, Rachel feels
obliged to attempt a
rescue. But other
sinister forces also
covet the relic Nick has
hidden. Some who desire
it so badly, they will
take the city ? and
everyone in it ? apart to
wield its frightening
power.
