An emotionally crippled extranatural detective heaved down a path of discovery and anguish. Demons with human faces. Green fairies. Bullet-battered buildings leftover from a bygone era. Telephone booths. Yes, telephone booths. Together with an inexplicably aggressive, sometimes foul-mouthed witch and a politically incorrect North Carolinian, Dimitri Averett stumbles his way through the thorny magical underpinnings of the southeastern United States. Even as he hunts his enemies, demonic influences twist the balance between he and they. As an evolving game of cat and mouse plagues him, will he be able to accept the terms thrust upon him?
