New Release Kincaid Strange, not your average voodoo practitioner, is back in the freshly imagined and hugely entertaining sec- ond installment of Kristi Charish's urban fantasy series. FOL LOW K R ISTI Kincaid Strange cannot catch a break. After dealing with a spate of paranormal murders, there's barely time to recuperate --let alone sleep in--before there's a new problem in Kincaid's world of paranormal activity. When her roommate, Nathan Cade--the ghost of a grunge-rocker with a pathological lack of self-control--comes home bound to a dead body, it's up to Kin- caid to figure out how to free him. Ideally before her new men- tor, Gideon, a powerful sorcerer's ghost, discovers that Nate is trapped in the body he'd coveted for himself. When Aaron, a Seattle cop on the afterlife beat--and Kin- caid's ex--calls her in to help out with a cold case, she takes the chance to mend fences with the police department. The problem: they want to interview Nate's ghost, which she can't produce. Then people from Nate's past start showing up dead, and what's killing them doesn't seem to be human. And the way it's killing them is especially brutal. Nate's hiding something, but he's Kincaid's friend and she wants to help him. But she also wants to stay alive....
