2010 Romance Writers of America RITA finalist for Best First
Book.
Atlanta: it's the promised city for the off-worlders,
foreigners from the alternate dimensions of heaven-like
Elysia and hell-like Charbydon. Some bring good works and
miracles. And some bring unimaginable evil.... Charlie Madigan is a divorced mother of one, and a kick-ass
cop trained to take down the toughest human and off-world
criminals. She's recently returned from the dead after a
brutal attack, an unexplained revival that has left her
plagued by ruthless nightmares and random outbursts of
strength that make doing her job for Atlanta P.D.'s
Integration Task Force even harder. Since the Revelation, the criminal element in Underground
Atlanta has grown, leaving Charlie and her partner Hank to
keep the chaos to a dull roar. But now an insidious new
danger is descending on her city with terrifying speed,
threatening innocent lives: a deadly, off-world narcotic
known as ash. Charlie is determined to uncover the source of
ash before it targets another victim -- but can she protect
those she loves from a force more powerful than heaven and
hell combined?
