Unholy Ghosts

THE DEPARTED HAVE ARRIVED.
The world is not the way it was. The
dead have risen, and the living are under attack. The powerful Church
of Real Truth, in charge since the government fell, has sworn to
reimburse citizens being harassed by the deceased.
Consequently,
there are many false claims of hauntings from those hoping to profit.
Enter Chess Putnam, a fully-tattooed witch, freewheeling Debunker, and
ghost hunter. She’s got a real talent for nailing human liars and
banishing the wicked dead. But she’s keeping a dark secret from the
Church: a little drug problem that’s landed her in hot and dangerous
water.
Chess owes a lot of money to a murderous drug lord named
Bump. And Bump wants immediate payback. All Chess has to do is dispatch
a very nasty species of undead from an old airport. But the job
involves black magic, human sacrifice, a nefarious demonic creature,
and crossing swords with enough wicked energy to wipe out a city of
souls. Toss in lust for a rival gang leader and a dangerous attraction
to Bump’s ruthless enforcer, and Chess begins to wonder if the rush is
really worth it. Hell, yeah.

In Chess Putnam’s world, ghosts are real, and — what’s worse — they’re dangerous. Lucky for her, she has the ability to hunt and banish them, which she puts to good use in her job as a debunker. People who try to get government money by claiming they’ve got a ghost need to go through Chess first. It’s up to her to decide whether they’re committing fraud — and she rarely makes mistakes. Dark, sexy, and always suspenseful, the Downside Ghosts series chronicles Chess’s adventures in a frightening, fascinating world wholly unlike our own.
