Sylvie Lightner is a PI who specializes in... let's say unusual cases. Or at least, she was.

Sylvie has dealt with werewolves, the undead, Satanic cultists, and all manner of unspeakable things, all while being hounded by a shadowy government agency that would love to shut her down--And she has always stood her ground. Now, though, she is having doubts. It is becoming harder for her to draw the line between the real monsters and the human ones, and progressively easier to kill. If she doesn't stop, she fears, she may become one of the monsters herself.

When she is forced to watch a friend and employee murdered because of their relationship, she knows that she can't do this anymore. She is closing Shadows Inquiries for good.

The problem is that a man who claims to be the God of Justice wants Sylvie to find his missing lover. And he's not taking no for an answer.

Sylvie is used to being outgunned and outclassed, but this case will push her beyond anything she knew she was capable of, and bring up things about her own past that she never wanted to know.
