A butcher on the loose...
The Black Slate has another assignment, but there’s a problem: John Smoke is nowhere to be found. Enter Mason Crow, the next name on the Slate. The file indicates that the man is an international butcher and has now taken his brutality to DC. Sid must find him, but will she be able to do it on her own?
A chain of chaos...
A mysterious reporter, Russ Davenport, tracks Sid down with some vital information, only to be shot down in the streets. A fire ravages Allison’s and Megan’s apartment building, and Sid is faced with identifying the charred bodies found inside.
With her life quickly turning upside down, Sid finds herself in a labyrinth of new supernatural horrors she never before imagined. Will Smoke be there for Sidney, or will she have to be there for him?
