The trouble starts when Anita gets a call from the cops saying that they’ve recovered a stolen item that belonged to her. The only problem is that Anita never reported anything missing and the item the police say is hers is a thirteenth century treatise on Necromancy by a mad monk, addressed to Anita, signed by Dominic Dumare, and sought by a sinister secret society.

Anita would be more than happy to get rid of the book, but the book has a will of its own, the secret society has an appetite for destruction and the only person who seems to know what’s going on is the nocturnal owner of a rare books store called Dead Words…

Legal Stuff: Word to the wise--if you recognize the characters, they aren't mine; they belong to LKH. Characters not appearing in AB:VH series are mine. No profit for my efforts, just the satisfaction of getting this damned plot out of my head and onto the hard drive. Please send any questions, comments, critiques to ceruse@hotmail.com
