Alain Armstrong is the newest best-selling author. Sis Steele is the new chief of detectives for the city of Pittsburgh. The two cross paths when the murder Sis Steele is investigating is identical to the one in Armstrong's best-selling book. As the pieces come together Armstrong becomes a prime suspect. When a second murder from the book happens things really heat up. And when the hunter becomes the hunted and you are up against the devil, it's good to have a guardian angel on your side.

The former chief of police Sis Steele has moved from small town chief of police to detective at a major city. The bodies start piling up and most have a common link to attorney Robert Germain, but suspects are as hard to find as ghosts. In addition to needing to close the cases for job preservation, Sis is being haunted by ghosts from her past, and the ancient Knights Templar organization may actually still be in business. Sis needs closure. Closure of her cases and closure from the ghosts in her life. Will she get it in time?
