Corinth City has a murder problem…

Ten years have passed since Gormon Hughes joined the Scarlet Citadel. Now a legendary agent of its power, Hughes is confronted by a much darker legend. A recent spate of killings has been tied to the old story of Spring-Heeled Jack. Approached by a grizzled officer from his home District, Hughes commits himself to solving the mystery. Does Jack really exist, or is he just a myth?

While Hughes works against the clock to untangle the clues and crack the case, his girlfriend Cate Jubilee is tasked with crossing into another world with the largest-ever retinue of Scarlet Citadel fighters. In hostile territory, she will face off against monsters more strange and terrible than she could ever have imagined.

Join Hughes and Cate as they battle the odds in this monster-hunting, crime-solving caper.

For mature listeners. Narrated in duet style.

A truly epic sequel

A true crafting of a tale and a superior finish too! I am constantly surprised and delighted with the play on words or turn of phrases that were used. It’s refreshing to have a story that has is a bit different of an approach and has developed enough to have several layering elements. Truly excited for more and I know this story will be epic enough to cast its own shadow and expand the imagination of readers.

Almost as good as the first

Learn about more of the mysteries of the world. Same fantastic narration. Shocking ending. I think I have to listen to it again to properly appreciate it.
