Could the road to the afterlife be a two-way street?
Derek's brother Ronny isn't himself.
No, really.
Ronny's body has been taken over by the long-dead soul of a man named Virgil Black. Lucky for him, Virgil is one of the good guys. Not all of them are.
In fact, a Legion of evil souls is staging a serious comeback. And they're staging it at Bayou Malpierre, the site of Derek's most horrible nightmare.
That nightmare is about to get even worse. . . .
EXCERPT:
The house was empty, abandoned. Even the furniture was gone. I collapsed breathless on the floor. The boards were sodden. Rain had poured in through a busted window and puddled the floor. My pants soaked through. I didn't get up. I couldn't get up. I was exhausted. I didn't care.
Ronny -- I started.
Quiet. They're only a mile or two away. They'll hear you.
He was right about that, too.
The dead were coming. They were coming for me.
