'God, he's good.' Stephen King A Native American demon is unearthed in the present day. Original, disturbing and utterly terrifying, this is the new standalone from master of horror, and author of The Manitou, Graham Masterton. Nemo Frisby used to be a detective. Now he drives an Uber between billionaire mansions in California. But he never lost the nose for the case - and when his housecleaner Trinity Fox discovers a young woman lying dead in her neighborhood, she persuades him to help her prove it wasn't suicide. Their investigation leads them to the Bel Air home of a wealthy movie producer, who built his mansion over a Native American burial site.

A warning from the past, an uncertain future, an impossible choice . . .
For hundreds of years, the Durupinen have carried the power of the Gateway in their bloodlines. Now, a dire warning from the past might mean that power must come to an end. Jess Ballard has often considered her gift a curse-but now it may truly become one, unless she can convince the leaders of the Durupinen world to restore the power of the Gateways where it rightly belongs. The Durupinen have always considered themselves a force for what is good in the world, but has the intoxication of power left them unable to distinguish between what is right and wrong?
Jess, Hannah, Milo, and their allies are in a race against time as they gather together the most influential Durupinen from around the world to join the fight. As the Necromancer threat looms, and the Durupinen leaders battle over which course to take, Jess must travel her own path, look within herself, and ask: How far will she go to right an ancient wrong, and will her connection to the spirit world survive it?
A mysterious mark, an ancient spirit, and a message from beyond the Aether . . .
After uncovering and destroying a Necromancer plot to take over Skye Priosún, Jess and Finn are united at last and longing to move on with their life together. But the Durupinen world has other plans.
An enigmatic rune keeps revealing itself to Jess-in artwork, in dreams, and even scrawled upon the ancient stones of the Geatgrima at Fairhaven. No one can identify it, but its warning is clear: something dangerous is coming, a revelation that could end the Gateway system forever.
Jess must follow the clues where they lead-forming unlikely alliances along the way. When her journey takes her at last to an ancient creature deep in the heart of the priosún, the truth she learns presents her with the most troubling question of all: what if her Durupinen gift was never really a gift at all, but something altogether darker?
