Before he died Castor's fellow exorcist John Gittings made several calls asking for help & if Castor had answered them John might still be alive. So when a smooth-talking lawyer comes out of nowhere to claim the remains Castor owes it to John's unhappy ghost & even more unhappy widow to help out. If only life were that simple. A brutal murder in King's Cross bears all the hallmarks of an American serial killer supposedly forty years dead & it takes more good sense than Castor possesses not to get involved. He's also fighting a legal battle over the body
- if not the soul
- of his possessed friend Rafi & can't shake the feeling that his three problems are related. With the help of the succubus Juliet paranoid zombie data-fence Nicky Heath & a little judicious digging Castor just might have a chance of fitting the pieces together before someone drops him down a lift shaft or rips his throat out. Or not...
