Sara starts to piece together the connections between her father's murder and its ties to supernatural forces around her. One lead, the mob enforcer, twenty-year-old Jackie Estacado, has been on Sara's radar. Her brief encounter with him previously left her shaken and wondering what the true nature of this dark killer is and how he is connected to the forces of darkness and light that have shaped her life. In these pages, Sara and Jackie finally clash, and the universe will never be the same!
