Don't make deals with the paranormal. They're better at it than you, and they never play fair.
Paranormal investigator and soul without a body, Vincent Graves, did just that-a deal made in desperation. Now it's coming back to bite him in the middle of a case.
He has fifty-seven hours to investigate a string of deaths involving people who've made some devilish bargains. Too bad devils don't deal in good faith. It'd be easy enough, if he didn't have to deal with things such as:
- Being hunted through the streets of Queens by a dark elf with a motorcycle fetish.
- Ending up the target of a supernatural hit.
- An old acquaintance dragging him to a paranormal ball where he could end up on the menu.
- And having one of his closest guarded secrets brought to light . . .
Not great for a tight clock, because if he doesn't get to the bottom of this case in time, Vincent and company might just lose their souls.
Dirty deals are never done dirt cheap. And the supernatural always collect-big!

What do shadows darting across the walls, cryptic writing, black fog, and a little girl who can see ghosts have in common? Paranormal investigator and soul without a body, Vincent Graves, has forty-four hours to find out.
To make matters worse, his years of body-hopping and monster-hunting are catching up with him. He's losing his mind. An old contact has shut him out. To top it all off, something's skulking through an asylum, killing patients.
Three guesses who might be next, and the first two don't count. The writing on the wall is not so clear. But one thing is: if he doesn't figure this out he's a dead man-well, deader-and a strange young girl might follow. Vincent's got his back against a wall, and that wall's crumbling.
Some days it's not worth it to wake up in someone else's body.

Another day, another hijacked body. And just thirteen hours to solve a murder . . .
Detective Vincent Graves has made a habit of dying. Waking up in someone else's body isn't pleasant, especially when it's inside a coffin with tons of dirt pressing down on it. Once he's out, he learns his soul has thirteen hours to find the borrowed body's killer.
With the help of a brilliant FBI agent, Vincent's quest for clues leads to a looming supernatural presence. And escaping the dark threat may be impossible with his ever-ticking clock . . .
Can Vincent close the case in time, or will a powerful being make him rest in peace for good?
