In this installment of the CandyAppleBlack series, Marlowe (seemingly a bounty hunter - but who is so much more) has been sent by Lucifer to kill Cayce and return the souls that the angel is harboring and has prevented from going to Hell. Meanwhile, Cayce tells a little girl the sad tale of Victor, a violinist who has lost the ability to play his beloved instrument, shutting himself off from the world.
