Ben's back--and this time he means business. Family business...Benedict
Macallan, protagonist of Dead of Light and wonder-worker malgr lui,
has travelled the length and breadth of Europe and still discovered no
family like his own. Maybe Macallan blood really is a biological sport,
a freak of evolution.
What Ben does discover is that he can't escape his birthright. He can
run to the sun and hide among strangers, but he can't hide his powers
from himself, and when a friend asks for help he has to use them. With
blood on his hands once more, it's farewell la dolce vita; he gets on
his bike and goes home.
Home is no sweeter than it was before, but it has changed. His gangster
relatives have lost control somehow, of themselves and their city; more
than one evil is at work here now, and even Ben's unique talents may not
be enough to save the one he loves.
If he can work out who that is...
