First in a brand new urban fantasy series
"Because I'm an inbetweener--and the only one anyone knows of at
that--the dead turn to me when something is askew between them and the
living. Usually, it's something mundane like a suicide gone wrong or
someone revived that shouldn'ta been."
Carlos Delacruz is one of the New York Council of the Dead's most
unusual agents--an inbetweener, partially resurrected from a death he
barely recalls suffering, after a life that's missing from his memory.
He thinks he is one of a kind--until he encounters other entities
walking the fine line between life and death. One inbetweener is a
sorcerer. He's summoned a horde of implike ngks capable of eliminating
spirits, and they're spreading through the city like a plague. They've
already taken out some of NYCOD's finest, leaving Carlos desperate to
stop their master before he opens up the entrada to the
Underworld--which would destroy the balance between the living and the
dead. But in uncovering this man's identity, Carlos confronts the truth
of his own life--and death....
