When a malignant rival from Fogg's past announces that he's running for mayor, Doyle is sent to discover what his real plan is. Through his fearmongering campaign, Kieron Drake reveals the truth about the creatures in Old Town and puts the vital balance between the human and occult worlds on a collision course. To get to the truth and save millions of citizens from a hellish fate, Doyle will have to sacrifice his friends, his love, and even his mortal soul. Malicious Intent, the second novel in the Lucius Fogg series, delves deeply into Fogg's complicated past and makes Doyle question everything he believes about the chaotic world he's been thrust into.
