Back from the Undead
DD Barant
Another work day, another case for the Bloodhound Files. But this time, Jace is truly stumped: How is she, a mere human, supposed to penetrate the dark heart of a child-trafficking ring of pire orphans-one that turns out to be part of a blood-farm operation, in the crime-ridden border city of Vancouver, British Columbia?
Jace is in over her head. But with the help of her former lover, Tanaka-whose family is one of the last samurai clans left in Japan-she stands a chance at seeking justice for the condemned children. Until the Yakuza tries to put an end to Jace's investigation. Jace risks more than death-this time, it's the fate of her very soul that's in danger . . .
