Novel, 368 pages, Mass Market Paperback, 1st Edition
Carlos Delacruz is one of the New York Council of the Dead's most unusual agents: an inbetweener, partially resurrected from a death he barely recalls suffering, after a life that's missing from his memory. He thinks he is one of a kind, until he encounters other entities walking the fine line between life and death. One inbetweener is a sorcerer. He's summoned a horde of creatures capable of eliminating spirits, and they're spreading through the city like a plague. They've already taken out some of NYCOD's finest, leaving Carlos desperate to stop their master before he opens up the entrada to the Underworld, which would destroy the balance between the living and the dead. But in uncovering this man's identity, Carlos confronts the truth of his own life and death.
