Part of Krewe of Hunters, book 3
First published 2011
Detective Jude Crosby stares at a brutal crime scene between two ancient Manhattan graveyards. A young actress lies murdered, her body positioned exactly like a Jack the Ripper victim. Jude sees this is no ordinary copycat killing. Something darker drives these murders. As fear grips the city, Jude partners with Whitney Tremont from an elite paranormal investigation unit. Whitney brings skills that conventional police work cannot match. Together they dig into the case, following clues that lead beyond normal criminal behavior. The killer's methods mirror the Ripper's techniques perfectly, but the motivation runs deeper than historical obsession. Each discovery reveals new layers of danger. Jude must rely on Whitney's supernatural expertise while she navigates the gritty reality of police investigation. Their partnership becomes essential as the true scope of the threat emerges. What they uncover challenges everything they thought they knew about the murders and puts them both at risk.
