End of the line...or end of the world?My name's Luther Cross, and by now you know my story. Half-human, half-demon, and Chicago's sexiest paranormal investigator. Now I can add "recently returned from the dead" to my long list of accomplishments.Except my resurrection was just the beginning. See, a year ago, I uncovered a plot by a rogue angel to launch the apocalypse ahead of schedule with the help of a supernatural child. And he's got everything he needs to start the fireworks. Now it's up to me to convince the leaders of Hell--who have never exactly liked me--to follow my lead and put a stop to this.Some say I can't avert armageddon and save the kid, but I'm determined to try. The question remains--just what will I have to sacrifice to save the world?

Death is not the endMy name is Luther Cross, the handsome and stylish son of a demon father and a human mother. With my knowledge of the supernatural and my own mystic abilities, I make my living as Chicago's foremost paranormal investigator.But now, I'm dead. Killed by a demon while protecting a young woman and her supernatural child. If I move on to the afterlife, my enemies will be waiting. So I'm trapped between two worlds, unable to affect either.There's a sliver of hope, though. My allies are working overtime to find a way to resurrect me. My job is to discover the identity of the rogue angel who set this all into motion, while also avoiding other threats. Being a ghost has just given me a whole new set of problems.If it all works out, I'll be back to my usual attractive self and avert a second war between Heaven and Hell. But if it all goes south, then we're all screwed.No pressure, right?

Old allies make the worst enemies My name's Luther Cross. I'm dangerously stylish, a tough-as-nails half-demon, and a freshly minted Lord of Hell. Yep, that's right. I'm in charge of some prime real-estate down in the pit, and it only cost me the loyalty of every ally I've ever made. But hey, that's a risk you take when you're trying to stay out of dodge. But now that deal is coming back to bite me hard in the ass. Asmodeus, baddest of the bad, and a former friend, has set his sights on me. Turns out my new kingdom used to be his. And he's not too happy.

Everyone's got a dark side. You may know me as a dangerously handsome, effortlessly stylish half-demon Luther Cross. That part remains true, but everything else has changed. There's a war brewing between Heaven and Hell. My only concern is staying off angel radar, but with a power vacuum in Chicago's supernatural underworld, I'm looking at a full-blown demonic turf war--one that will most certainly bring the angels down from their clouds. That would be inconvenient for me, to say the least. If I'm going cover my own ass--meaning put a stop to this--I'll need some help. Unfortunately, my ally of choice is a centuries-old demon who isn't doing jack for me unless I first do something for her. And that, well. That's going to piss off a lot of powerful people, including some I once called friends.

But as a PI, her reach is limited, and she has little choice but to join forces with an antagonistic former colleague. As the body count rises, Kyoko faces pressure on all sides. Can she find the killer before another girl is lured on a murder walk?
