Aristotle Anderson, private investigator, bounty hunter, paranormal victim. Due to a childhood ordeal, he is able to travel into the ether between worlds to tackle those creatures that prey on mankind – demons, ghosts, unknown evils. He, along with his assistant, Jasper, and his black cat, Malice, work to rid the world of evil – for a reasonable price.
While working to cleanse a haunting from a lonely hunting shack, Aristotle sees the past reflection of a murder that had occurred there. Two young girls slaughtered at the hands of a sadistic killer. Upon returning home, he discovers that an innocent man is on death row for the crime. Despite having no client, no clues, a dead cold crime, and a bank account in the red, Aristotle is determined to find the real killer.
With the clock ticking on an innocent man, our erstwhile investigator has to overcome forgetful witnesses, unhappy police, Irish bikers, and an elusive killer laughing at our hero all the while. The investigator is determined to keep going until his death or his credit cards run out. Whichever comes first.
Originally born in Argentina to German immigrants, Rex Hurst was kidnapped by narco-terrorists and sold to a Satanic drug cult in Matamoros, Mexico. There he was subjected to various humiliations and would have been sacrificed in a blood ritual if not for the timely intervention of the Mexican police. He was evacuated to family in Montana, where he obtained his bachelors in Fermentation Sciences and a masters in Philosophy. When not writing, he runs a small vineyard with his wife and six children.
Best in the series so far. An insane marital arts instructor seems to have tapped into a supernatural source which allows him to commit feats beyond that of regular man. This causes a cult to spring up around the man which sucks in the main character. A fun, wild, book in this series and one that fills in some interesting parts to the character's background.
