This Endless Night

by Steve Neil Johnson

When 26-year-old anthropology grad student Jenny DeSoto is asked by her dad's former NYPD partner Mike--whom Jenny has always carried a torch for--to help solve an occult crime, she is plunged into a nightmare that may never end.

The grave of the notorious serial killer Charles Sesbit, who left her father a disabled wreck, has been dug up...and his skull is missing. Jenny immediately recognizes the work of a Palero, a priest in the dark religion Palo Mayombe.

Jenny knows the Palero plans to raise the spirit of Charles Sesbit in a terrifying ritual that will make the killer his slave to command at will. But what Jenny doesn't realize is that the dark priest knows who SHE is, and has plans of his own for HER...
