She Carried the Dead: A Detective Nightingale Casefile - Paperback

by Alec Sousa (Author)

There's something evil in this lousy city. It could be Anton Lazaretto, the big-shot gangster running things from his smoky office in the Rag & Bone Club. Or the mysterious fortune teller, Madame Lovebite, calling up death every time she draws a card from her tarot deck. Or maybe it's Vermilion, the bloodthirsty vampire who snatched an orphan girl from her bed at the convent one ugly, rain-washed night.

Hell, maybe it's all of them.

One way or another, Nightingale is going to find out.

When a girl goes missing, Sister Magdalene hires occult detective Sebastian Nightingale to find her. But hunting a vampire through the mean streets of this rotten town is never easy, and it's never nice. Surrounded by vicious criminals, corrupt clergy, and cryptic smugglers, death stalks their every step-and unless they're careful, death will catch up.
