What could possibly be worse for your health, smoking or the cure for the common cold? Is a former wild child, now in her final days, still able to defend herself from the not so romantic advances of a past lover? Can an oppressed wife use a dinner party as a means to release herself from her overbearing husband? As well as these quirky tales of horror, A.S.Chambers also draws to a close the Justice and the Nightingale vampire trilogies. In doing so, he paves the way for the well-loved characters to explode back into the world of Sam Spallucci: Lancaster's beleaguered investigator of the paranormal.
