Publisher's Synopsis
One year ago, Nicole DuPond was wrenched into a world of secrecy and horror. Since then, she's moved in with a ragtag team of paranormal researchers, trying to keep her head above water in a sea of nightmares. Now, she's being pulled under: stalked by an old enemy, tangled up in a new job, and uncovering a secret she's kept even from herself. Tristan Wallace sits in the cage of an empty suburban home. Since losing his family, he's struggled through AA meetings and job loss to become a fearesome bogeyman in his own right--the man who goes bump in the vampiric night. But as the ghosts of his past haunt his dreams and his latest case proves to be beyond his pay grade, the life he thought he'd finally pulled together starts to unravel. Cyrus LeSage wakes up every morning to a head full of nightmare memories, muffling them under a sea of whiskey and a string of one-night stands. All of that goes sideways when his past catches up to him. Before he knows what he's doing, he's signed himself up for a suicide mission to erase his debts, wired up on a sleepless quest to beat the odds and keep his hold on the little life he's built for himself. As their stories intersect, it's clear there's something going on beyond their understanding. Something or someone is playing out a deadly bet with them as collateral, and if they can't solve this twisted puzzle, they'll have more to lose than their sanity.
