New Orleans. They call it the Big Easy, but there's nothing easy about Jack Nightingale's latest case. Dead usually means dead, but corpses are coming back to life and carrying out targeted killings. The supernatural detective is called in to investigate, and he soon discovers that Voodoo is behind the spate of murders. Whoever is making the dead rise obviously has a plan - a plan so heinous that even the Devils of Hell are concerned. . . But there are darker forces at work. And they have Nightingale in their sights. His life - and his soul - are on the line.
