DEAD MAN RISING
Lilith Saintcrow

Reviewed by Sue Burke

Fantasy Urban

Evil has always been a part of Dante Valentine's world. It haunts her past, stalks her present and you could say that it anticipates her future. If you really thought she had a future. Evil is Dante's near constant companion. Marked by a demon and friend of the Devil, this hard-ass and sometimes death-dealing bounty hunter takes no prisoners.

When psychics all over Saint City are being murdered, the cops turn to Dante for help. Now Dante looks backward and homeward for answers.

Back to Rigger Hall, the nightmare past the victims share with Dante. Dante works the case even though it makes her uneasy, but as she stands back from the forest to get a better look at the trees, the long arm of the past reaches out to lay to claim to her.

Word of warning. DEAD MAN RISING is not a stand alone book. Don't pick it up if you haven't read its companion novel, WORKING FOR THE DEVIL. They're a matched set. This hard hitting urban fantasy will keep you on the edge of your seat and the conclusion delivers a shocker that will both stun and please.

SUMMARY

Something is wrong in Saint City, and psions are dying.
The cops can't catch the killer or find the thread binding
the victims together, so they do the only thing they can.
They call in Dante Valentine.

Danny has problems of her own. Just picking up the pieces
of her shattered life is enough to keep her busy, between
the bounty hunts that help her forget and the stubborn ex-
lover who won't go away. Not to mention the ashes of the
demon who changed her into something inhumanly strong,
calling to her from a lacquered black urn. The last thing
she needs is another mystery in her life.

Still, a promise is a promise. When the one woman she
trusts calls for help, Danny is plunged into a labyrinth
of deceit, murder, sex and intrigue--a maze with its roots
sinking deep into the one place Dante never wants to
revisit, the place where she learned just how helpless a
child can be.

Rigger Hall.

Something that happened at the Hall is echoing down
through the years. Something bloody, and hungry, and evil
enough to make even the Devil blush. And that something
has chosen its next victim.

Dante Valentine.
