This is available from the author's site. A necromancer and a hungry ghoul walk into a graveyard. Lazarus Kerrigan just wants to pay his rent on time and to keep his new business afloat. Unfortunately, the good citizens of New Orleans aren’t eager to fork over their hard-earned cash to the city's only openly practicing necromancer. His only client so far? The mysterious ghoul king, Serkan. He wants Lazarus to hunt down a rogue ghoul prowling the streets. Easy enough, until the ghoul turns out to be something far more ancient and dangerous. To save the city and get paid, Lazarus will have to stop the monster in less than thirty-six hours, a monster that can neither be killed nor bargained with. With time and options running out, Lazarus is starting to wish he’d never taken the job at all…
