The Walking Man has arrived in the Nightside, and everyone should be terrified. This righteous destroyer serves as God's personal enforcer, dedicated to wiping out every wicked soul he encounters. In a place like the Nightside, that means virtually everyone faces extinction. The Authorities recognize the threat and turn to private investigator John Taylor for help. They need him to stop this unstoppable force before the Walking Man reduces their domain to empty streets and silence. Taylor accepts the job, but he knows the legends surrounding his target. Stories claim the Walking Man cannot be killed by any earthly means. As Taylor begins his investigation, he desperately hopes those stories are wrong. The detective must find a way to defeat an enemy who may be truly invincible, all while operating in a supernatural realm where the guilty vastly outnumber the innocent. Taylor faces his most dangerous case yet, knowing that failure means not just his own death, but the complete annihilation of everyone in the Nightside.
