WHEN THE STAKES ARE DEAD -- OR
UNDEAD!
Werewolf mobsters and vampires run Vegas, but that''s
yesterday''s news for Delilah Street, paranormal investigator.
What''s truly fearsome is her bloody discovery of an undead evil
rooted in ancient Egypt. Now, with her lover Ric fighting for life
after a grim battle, the chips are down.
But Delilah is a born winner who has never let a little danger
throw off her game, and she''s been learning fast since she came to
Sin City. Her affinity for silver is making mirror-walking a real
breeze, and being forced to accept the albino rock star sorcerer
Snow''s Brimstone Kiss has ramped up her powers to a startling new
level. With the help of her trusty uber-wolfhound Quicksilver, not
to mention the orange demon parking valet Manny, Delilah is
determined to solve even more paranormal secrets, and hopefully
save the few innocents left in town. But can Delilah win her
high-stakes gamble for life and love against ancient gods and
lethal supernatural odds?
