This urban fantasy thriller, set in a Cincinnati inhabited by normal humans and "Inderlanders" (supernatural beings, including vampires, witches, werewolves, and fairies), is the second in a series that began with DEAD WITCH WALKING. In this volume, the sassy, butt-kicking heroine of the series, the witch and bounty hunter Rachel Morgan, takes an undercover assignment with the Federal Inderlander Bureau, posing as a student in attempt to find a serial killer targeting witches.

It's a tough life for witch Rachel Morgan, sexy, independent bounty hunter, prowling the darkest shadows of downtown Cincinnati for criminal creatures of the night.

She can handle the leather-clad vamps and even tangle with a cunning demon or two. But a serial killer who feeds on the experts in the most dangerous kind of black magic is definitely pressing the limits.

Confronting an ancient, implacable evil is more than just child's play -- and this time, Rachel will be lucky to escape with her very soul.
