The ghouls in the town of Redemption are restless.
Ruda Creagh, her father's heart, and the Right Hook of the working girls gets herself into some real heat. Hard fists and hot tempers find her buried alive in Boston.
Mac, big, dumb, and possibly magic with Puritan gravedirt under his nails. When the dead get riled, Mac lays them back down
A mandated marriage from a mad judge paired a woman in trouble with a man looking for it. Both of them banished to the coal fire wastes of Pennsylvania, the train bringing them forward in their search for Redemption.
Mac desperately needs to get back to his headstones and Ruda can't possibly return. But the falsity of their "marriage" is becoming more and more real by the day.
Mac might be a believer, but even he hasn't seen anything like Redemption. It can only get weirder. There may have been ghouls stalking the cemeteries of Boston, but there's even worse in the steel town manor homes.
And they're hungry.
