Part of Charley Davidson, book 8
First published 2015
Charley Davidson is trapped. Twelve hellhounds hunt her, so she takes shelter on the consecrated grounds of an abandoned convent. The supernatural creatures cannot cross the sacred soil, but they wait just beyond the borders. Charley is heavily pregnant and growing restless after months of confinement. A new mystery captures her attention when she spots the ghost of a murdered nun in the shadows. The young woman was killed decades ago on these same grounds where Charley now hides. Her partner Reyes seems to be growing ill, his body temperature rising dangerously with each passing day, though he denies any problems. The team searches for information about the Twelve while Charley feels helpless, unable to leave the safety of the convent to investigate. Her friends gather around her, and she realizes they may all be connected by something larger than coincidence. But her supernatural life is about to deliver an unexpected shock that will change everything.
