Judas Coyne is a collector of the macabre: a cookbook for cannibals, a used hangman’s noose, a snuff film. Many of these objects were gifts from the black-clad fans who made his metal band a legend and made him rich. When his personal assistant told him there was a ghost for sale on the Internet, Jude knew he had to have it for his private collection. Jude has spent a lifetime evading ghosts—his abusive father, the bandmates he betrayed, and Anna, the suicidal girl he loved and abandoned. His new acquisition—delivered to his doorstep in a black heart-shaped box—is the restless soul of Anna’s vengeful stepdaddy. Craddock McDermott swore he would settle with Jude for ruining his daughter’s life. Soon, everywhere Jude turns, Craddock is there. Waiting—with a gleaming razor blade on a chain dangling from one bony hand.
