But Jay won't listen, he thinks Janis just needs to find her ferryman and then he'll be done with her. Ghosts are no longer his responsibility anyway.At a crime scene, they stumble onto a dark conspiracy that goes well beyond a ghost without a ferryman. Jay and Janis are thrust into a twisting mystery that winds its way across a supernatural America and even to some places beyond.

Join Janis and Jay in a world where faeries deal in contracts, forgotten deities linger in darkened street corners, and demons rule in underground bars. Discover that sometimes, the most formidable power is found in who we choose to stand beside.
