Languages : en
Pages : 247
Book Description
The demigod detective is back to stop Dionysus and Hades from sending Los Angeles straight to hell in this “sharp and funny” urban fantasy (Christina Henry, author of the Black Wings series). An ill wind is blowing through LA—right through Tori Karacis’s door. Just a few weeks after she prevented rogue gods from blowing the city into the ocean, more dead bodies are turning up near the leftover crater . . . bodies that have been shredded by something too big to be, shall we say, of this world. Worse, her Uncle Christos has disappeared after stumbling onto a deadly cult masquerading as the Back-to-Earth movement. The connection: Dionysus. Yes, that Dionysus. He’s resurrected his bloody fertility rite, complete with frenzied female groupies who tear men limb from limb. And he’s won over Demeter, goddess of the harvest, by getting her daughter Persephone away from Hades for good. Predictably, Hades isn’t about to let Persephone go without a fight. Unless Tori finds a way to bring her back to him, Hades will abandon the gates of Tartarus. At which time all hell will, literally, break loose. Between saving the world, the woman, the cultists and her crazy uncle, Tori is giving up on getting to the beach before all the good spots are taken.

So close to her relaxing Atlanta weekend that she could almost taste it, beautiful, tough, Detective Lacy Fuller and her partner Chet Avery were suddenly assigned to a high-profile yet seemingly open-and-shut homicide case.

With one quick gunshot, the cheating bastard was out of her life. However, things are not always as they seem. Todd wasn't HIV positive and Shelly is but one of several people to have mysteriously contracted HIV in recent months. Atlanta becomes a hotbed of pandemonium as fear of a new, undiscovered mode of viral transmission seems possible. With the help of Dr. Sharon West and FBI Agent Margie Olsen, Detective Fuller uncovers a far greater evil than anyone dared imagine.
