Dark Pursuits-A Friend of the Dead

The dead won't leave Abel Ease alone.They claw into his dreams, whispering of his family's ancient sins-and the price he still owes: his soul. No matter how far he runs, they'll never let go. Worse, anyone he dares to care about becomes their next target.FBI Agent Emi Laurens hasn't seen Abel in years, but she's about to wish she never knew him. She's hunting a killer who carves Satanic altars from his victims-gruesome displays of flesh and blood that defy human logic. She thinks she's chasing a man. She's wrong. It's something far older, far darker... and it's already inside her life, wearing a face she trusts.To save Emi, Abel must confront the dead he's spent a lifetime avoiding-and a creature from beyond that hungers for them both. One wrong step, and they'll be its next grotesque masterpiece.
