- Shade's To Do List:

- Investigate a haunting
- Find undead crime lord's stolen book of blackmail
- Survive

An FBI contact comes to Shade for help when a ghostly presence indicates a missing architect with ties to the mob might have been murdered. Even for a village witch recently turned private investigator, it should have been an easy assignment. Show up, look for the ghost, determine if it's the missing architect.

Easy peasy.

Then an unexpected twist brings a vampire to her doorstep.

A bold thief stole the "reputable businessman's" little black book of secrets—and he'll pay a lot more than an FBI consulting fee to get it back.

Powerful suspects make powerful enemies.

Soon the question isn't whether or not Shade can solve the case—it's whether or not she can survive it if she does.
