"Wonderfully mysterious characters populate a taut, spine-chilling tale." ~ Kirkus ReviewsTransporting dead bodies is not a job for everyone. Ex-con Jimmy Myer is transporting the dead body of a renowned psychic when his hearse veers into an encounter with the Molossus, a mythical beast that bestows unimaginable wealth to its new host at the cost of the old host's violent death. The dog's current host, the psychopathic billionaire Old Man Moyer, is desperate to dodge this deadly deal. What results is a strange world of enigmatic mediums, relentless detectives, and spectral spectators. As the story hurtles towards its chilling conclusion, the narrative compels readers to ask: What wordly fortune could be worth the promise of a violent death?
