Drained
Detective Liam Grady was stumped.
Never in his long years as a New Orleans Homicide Detective had he encountered a serial killer who literally drained his victims.
The mummified shell of a once beautiful student was the first sign this case was extraordinary. Within days she was joined by a high-class call-girl and a frumpy housewife. All died in the same sadistic manner.
What did they have in common, besides their strange demise?
Things are not as they seem. The victims have dark secrets, and tales of Haitian malignant spirits offer a slim lead. But it means Liam has to ditch everything he believes in and open his mind to a conjecture that defied logic.
As he struggles with his own demons, Liam joins forces with a pretty student and a Mysterious Vodou witch doctor to stop whatever it is that holds New Orleans in its bloody grasp.
Time is of the essence.
The bodies are piling up.
...And now the monster has Liam in its sights.

Fast-paced and chilling
A short yet exciting read, with a final plot twist that I kinda see coming but was satisfactory in the end. What I enjoyed the most was not knowing if the killer was indeed a mythical monster or not.
