Publisher's Synopsis
An object of desire? Or of fear? It was stolen from a New Orleans grave - the centuries-old bust of an evil man, a demonic man. It's an object desired by collectors - and by those with wickedness in their hearts. One day, its current owner shows up at Danni Cafferty's antiques shop on Royal Street, the shop she inherited from her father. Before Danni can buy the statue, it disappears, the owner is found dead and Danni discovers that she's inherited much more than she realized. In the store is a book filled with secret writing: instructions for defeating evil entities. She'd dismissed it as a curiosity - until the arrival of this statue, with its long history of evil and even longer trail of death.
