If you have come to this book as you've enjoyed "Gated" or "Asylum" please note that this novel is a very early example of my work. As such I hope that you read it with that in mind and judge it accordingly.
Jimmy "Eyes" Glick and Abraham "Ghost" Jacobs both came through life the hardest of ways. A chilling combination since their orphanage origins, one a fully fledged psychopath and the other a borderline sociopath.
Together they worked for Bennett Drake who ran the criminal underworld of the city of Eagleport. But Jimmy and Ghost were never going to take orders for very long and in the ultimate act of betrayal they seize control of the organisation in a bloody coup.
18 years later they now control the city with razor sharp intelligence and an iron fist. The organised crime empire that they have built over the years has its foundations laid in blood, and pain. Ghost has worked hard to control Jimmy's legendary temper as he attempts to move them into the legitimate business world. Jimmy lives for the limelight and is the figurehead of the company, whilst Ghost is content to lurk in the shadows, but there are problems brewing. Jessica Kyle gave up a promising journalistic career to pursue the illusive story of the man behind the whisper in the king’s ear. She begins a determined pursuit of Abraham "Ghost" Jacobs and won't be deterred despite the obvious dangers.
Suddenly the very building blocks of Jimmy and Ghost's empire are crumbling. As Ghost attempts to understand the threat that has arisen, he suddenly finds himself fighting a war on all fronts. Someone is launching a calculated plan to ruin them; their bank accounts are empty, their properties are all stolen from under them, some employees are disappearing, whilst others are turning on them.
Ghost soon discovers that their organisation is under threat from an enemy far more different and dangerous than anything that they could have ever possibly imagined. His singular purpose in life is complicated by his growing fear that they are not as invincible as he’d always imagined.
As Ghost fights for his life and those around him, he loses his tenuous grip over their kingdom and Jimmy's sanity.
He's about to discover that some betrayals, won't stay buried.
An intelligent horror thriller with depth, that mixes vampires and gangsters and not a “Tween” in sight.
