Search Worlds Without End

The living cannot be allowed to infect the dead.

Adam Binder has lost what matters most to him. Having finally learned the true identity of the warlock preying on his family, what was supposed to be a final confrontation with the fiend instead became a trap that sent Adam's beloved Vicente into the realm of the dead, where none living are meant to be.

Bound by debt, oath, and love, Adam blazes his own trail into the underworld to get Vicente back, and to end the threat of the warlock once and for all. But the road to hell is paved with far more than good intentions. Demons are hungry, and ghosts are relentless, and what awaits Adam in the underworld is nothing he is prepared to face.

If that weren't enough, Adam has one more thing he must do if he and Vicente are to return to the world of the living: find the lost heart of Death herself.

Max and Tom are old, old friends, once actors. Tom now owns a jazz nightclub called Deadbeat which, as well as being their source of income, is also something of an in-joke. In a dark suburban churchyard one night they see a group of men are loading a coffin into the back of a van.

But, why would you be taking a full coffin away from a graveyard and, more importantly, why is the occupant still breathing? Tom and Max are on the case. God help us...

"High on life..."

There's a new drug running rife amongst the Undead community. Once ingested, it simulates all of the symptoms of the living, faster pulse, perspiration, the intoxicating rush of blood through your veins... Not that Max or Tom would be stupid enough to try it of course, they're far too busy smashing their senses to a pulp working their way though Deadbeat's new cocktail menu. But, when people start vanishing from the Soho streets and some of their customers disrupt big band nights by keeling over dead for the second time, they decide it might be worth looking into, if only to stop profits dropping too far. Which, in a lifetime of bad decisions, may rank as their worst yet.
