New Orleans. They call it the Big Easy, but there’s nothing easy about Jack Nightingale’s latest case.
Dead usually means dead, but corpses are coming back to life and carrying out targeted killings.
The supernatural detective is called in to investigate, and he soon discovers that Voodoo is behind the spate of murders.
Whoever is making the dead rise obviously has a plan - a plan so heinous that even the Devils of Hell are concerned.
But there are darker forces at work. And they have Nightingale in their sights. His life - and his soul - are on the line.

He is one of the world's most ruthless terrorists, codenamed Saladin. He plans and executes devastating attacks and then, ghost-like, he disappears.
Ten years ago he blew a plane out of the sky above New York - and now he's killed dozens in a London strike.
But one of the latest victims is related to the acting head of MI5, who knows exactly who she wants on the case: Spider Shepherd.
Dean Martin, a psychologically damaged former Navy SEAL, is the only person in the world who can identify Saladin. But Martin was killed ten years ago - wasn't he?
Shepherd must find Martin and take him back to the killing fields on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Revenge on the world's most wanted terrorist is long overdue, and Shepherd is determined to be the one to deliver it . . .
