Thicker Than Water

In the Big Easy, hunger wears many faces.

Emil Stone and Misha "Puzzle" Kaslov arrive in New Orleans on assignment, investigating a brutal attack that has left the city's hidden world whispering in fear. Beneath the French Quarter's glittering lights and decadent charm, something old is moving through the shadows…and blood is beginning to spill.

The deeper they descend into the city's undercurrents, the more dangerous their investigation becomes. A figure from Emil's past reopens old wounds and buried desires, forcing Puzzle to confront emotions he can no longer ignore. While their attention turns inward, something far more sinister draws closer.

The greatest dangers don't always live in the shadows. And devotion has a way of blinding even the most dangerous men.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Thicker Than Water is a companion novella to The Devil's Disease (Shades Below, #2), but can also be read as a standalone.
