Two years after discovering his twin brother in a hospital and that things that go bump in the night are all too real, Special Detective Fynn Adder still has a lot to learn-before his newest case drives him back off the wagon. His new partner, a trainee named Simon Murphy and in the middle of breaking him in (hopefully without actually breaking him), a grisly murder rocks the foundation of Fynn's shaky sobriety. And it's not just any murder-it's the murder of a child. As more ritual killings start to spread out across the city, Fynn, Jack, and Simon scramble to track down the necromancer responsible and stop them before they complete whatever ritual they're performing. Meanwhile, Simon has to deal with the overly ambitious FBI Agent Gabriel Sheppard, whose dogged determination to put Simon's mob boss in prison is putting Simon at risk, and hindering Fynn's investigation. As if that wasn't enough, the king of the elves wants to have a sit down, Tara's birthday is only a few days away, and it seems the family secrets just keep on coming. The tension and pressure just never seems to end for Fynn and his crew.
