Ben Smoke is an ex-cop, a tough-guy bachelor who never had a case he couldn’t crack–that is, until someone starts snatching bodies from a funeral home. This is the kind of challenge Smoke loves–only this time, the case leads him on a bizarre and dangerous journey, leading to a crazy, kinky lady, a twisted killer, black magic, and ancient Egyptian rites. It’s a devilish–and deadly–business. This is a case that might just be too hot for Smoke to handle.
