Revenant
Don't let his cool demeanor fool you, Jake King's life has been a long, haunted existence. His father died when he was six, his mother is incarcerated at a mental health facility, he's just lost his job as a journalist and he's crossed paths with the local mob. Of course, this is only the beginning, as Jake soon begins seeing the wandering, translucent spirits of the streets of Providence crying out for his help. Worse yet, there is a stalking shadow that has been killing people around him. If Jake doesn't discover what this revenge spirit wants and how to stop it, he could wind up in the obituaries. Even if he survives this spirit and the mob hit, he must contend with the screaming headaches, a shady mentor figure, and unknown beings from beyond the veil that threaten our world. Revenant is a Horror/Urban Fantasy novel set in H.P. Lovecraft's city of Providence.

Jake and Eddie are stepbrothers living in Providence RI, one an investigative journalist, the other a cop, who team up to take on a supernatural menace. This is a serial killer story in which the killer is a paranormal being whose nature and origin link with dark events in the brothers' past.
Just to make things more interesting, Jake's mother is in a mental institution and he's being stalked by a Mob assassin and hounded by angry ghosts. These may all seem like familiar elements, but thrown into the blender with a degree of gusto they make for a fast-moving and suspenseful story, and the evil Revenant of the title is far more imaginatively realised than your run-of-the-graveyard bloodsucker. The boys gang is rounded out by a resourceful female detective, and there are some memorable scenes of horror. This could be the start of something...
