An adult horror novel from the author of the Return of the Vampire young adult trilogy. Nationwide the police are teetering on breaking point. Budget cuts combined with a drastic rise in seemingly random murders have left them desperate. Former detective Will Hunter is one of many to have been brought back to help De Omori try to bring the situation back under control. When Will and Operative Eve Evans are called to investigate Ravensdowne, they find a town that swallows anyone that enters: police, army or drone. Someone has unleashed something designed to push Eve to her limits but they have reckoned without Will who harbours dark secrets of his own and a certain skill that may just be the difference in getting out of Ravensdowne alive.
