A necromancer dredges up a historic terror in this urban fantasy thriller set in post-Katrina New Orleans.

New Orleanians are under attack from an undead serial killer. The Axeman of New Orleans was supposed to have claimed his last victim in 1919—so what's he doing stalking the streets now? A tip from the undead pirate Jean Lafitte leads DJ Jaco to the unknown necromancer behind the Axeman's resurrection. And his ultimate target is a certain blonde wizard. Namely, DJ.

Getting the Axeman back in his grave isn't easy—especially when DJ has more trouble piling up around her. Jake Warin's loup-garou nature is spiraling downward, enigmatic neighbor Quince Randolph is acting weirder than ever, the Elders are insisting on lessons in elven magic from the world's most annoying wizard, and former partner Alex Warin just turned up on DJ's to-do list. Not to mention big maneuvers are afoot in the halls of preternatural power.

Suddenly, moving to the Beyond as Jean Lafitte's pirate wench could be DJ's best option.
