In the dangerous and derelict Tenderloin district, people are disappearing from street corners and SRO's... and no one is asking why.   Together with private detective Jesper MacMillian, Lena discovers a deadly threat stalking San Francisco's shadowy underbelly, and is forced to confront some shadows of her own.   Can she discover the source of the disappearances before it's too late?   Once she faces down the source of the evil, will the shadows ever let her go?

A mysterious illness is bringing San Francisco's most enduring Sons out of the shadows, leaving them even more bloodthirsty - and dangerous - than usual.   Reunited with private detective Jesper MacMillian, Lena is drawn into a part of the demimonde where folklore is real and nightmares are born.
