Assembly investigator Miles Watson discovers the past can haunt anyone—living or undead—in this urban fantasy from the author of the Hellequin Chronicles.
Old grudges are nothing new to Miles. His adventures and misadventures have earned him plenty of foes along the way. But when the Justices, a group of the most powerful vampires in the world, ask him to work a case—at the scene of one of his worst nightmares—even Miles is worried about what could go wrong. Meanwhile, the vampire world is looking to restore its reputation by granting acclaimed reporter Amelia Roberts an interview. The problem is, Amelia and Miles have history—and she has secrets that make her more dangerous than anyone knows . . . Add to that a string of deadly attacks nearby, political machinations to make Miles more influential, and a powerful enemy insisting the investigator take on this case, and you've got a recipe for disaster. As Miles struggles to untangle the web of long-buried secrets and deadly new lies, he quickly realizes even one wrong move could turn this mission into his last. Expertly weaving well-realized lore with snappy dialogue and complex characters, When the Devil Comes Calling is the fifth installment of the heart-pounding urban noir series that's guaranteed to suck you in.
