About this ebook
Former cop turned private eye Sam Eldritch is down on his luck. A Chinese demon killed his partner, but its icy touch gave Sam a terrible gift. Now he sees ghosts, demons, and even worse things--things that shouldn't be there. And he hires himself out to people who need his particular "gift."
But when a mysterious businessman hires him to retrieve a priceless magical ring, Sam realizes he may have bitten off more than he can chew. With his only allies a Chinese sorcerer and the ingenue of a jealous crimelord, can Sam find a force so powerful it destroys everyone it touches before it falls into the hands of the local mob?
It's all in a day's work for Sam Eldritch: Occult Investigator for Hire
