Monsters now whisper his name in fear. None live after crossing him. But being the most kickass occult bounty hunter anywhere has a nightmare downside even he’s not ready for…Anticipating the worst keeps Deacon Chalk a step ahead. But he never expected that a badly-beaten were-bat female victim would suddenly mutate and almost take him out. Or that the freak undead that infected her can’t wait to turn all lycanthropes into uncontrollable killing machines…once he’s gone. And that day is getting awfully close. Deacon may be outnumbered, out-gunned, and cut off from help, but what the enemy doesn’t know is that’s exactly when the world’s best bounty hunter lives up to his billing…Praise for the Deacon Chalk Occult Bounty Hunter series“This is urban fantasy as men’s fiction—Sookie Stackhouse meets the Dresden Files by way of Maxim.”—Publishers Weekly on Blood and SilverIf Dirty Harry and Anita Blake had a love child, he would be Deacon Chalk.”—Jenna Maclaine on Blood and Bullets17,000 Words.
