Always up for adventure, she is determined to outshine her avowed rival, Sherlock Holmes. Lars Andersen walks a fine line between dread and his enjoyment of paranormal investigation.

The Case: Corpses are walking away from mortuaries…and returning without their heads. Hired to track down the culprit reanimating the dead, Heyward and Anderson must go toe to toe with a rogue sorcerer to solve the mystery. When they finally meet, the showdown will be explosive…
