The Lost

Griffin Shaw and his wife were both murdered fifty years ago. Now a Centurion — a minor angel who assists the souls of newly deceased taken by violence — Grif has been granted permission to solve the mystery of his death. But like most things in life, both mortal and eternal, that permission is conditional. Grif must help the Pure angels with souls who might otherwise be Lost.

Souls like Jeap Yang, a drug addict in his final moments of life. Grif knows that death is coming, but he cannot intervene. Hopefully, Grif’s mortal lover, reporter Katherine Craig, isn’t constrained by angel protocol. If she can stop a death, she will.

But as Kit is about to find out, there are things more traumatic and evil than murder. A strange new drug is literally eating tweakers’ flesh from the bone, and the conscientious reporter is determined to break the story — and get the drug off the streets. Her crusade will propel her and Grif into a head-to-head with a vicious drug cartel. But it seems the Pures are angelic in name only. And they have a secret agenda — a scheme that will ensare Kit and Grif and leave them scrambling to stay alive, to stay together, and to choose their fate — before it’s chosen for them.
