About This Audiobook

Los Angeles has never been kind to necromancer Eric Carter, and his return to the city proves no exception. In the second Eric Carter novel by Stephen Blackmoore, Carter is bound to Santa Muerte, the patron saint of death, and her influence is warping both his abilities and his identity. While hunting for a way to sever that supernatural tether, he becomes the prey of a shape-shifting psychopath capable of stealing anyone's face, powers, and memories. With only a Skid Row bruja and an ambiguous ghost for backup, Carter navigates a city where no one is who they appear to be.

The full-cast dramatized adaptation brings an extra layer of menace to Blackmoore's hard-boiled urban fantasy. Michael John Casey anchors the production as Carter, while Nora Achrati, Colleen Delany, Scott McCormick, and the rest of the ensemble sharpen every confrontation and quiet dread-filled exchange. At under five hours, the pacing is relentless, and the theatrical format suits a story built on paranoia and shifting identities.
