The problems in Dirk Cooper's life were Ghosts, Money, and The Mob. The solution was Real Estate. Join notable hobo Dirk Cooper as he lies, cheats, and steals his way through life. Desperate to recover the things he lost during the housing crash of 2008, Dirk thinks his troubles are over when he is approached by a wealthy and powerful man with haunted houses to sell. Things are not as they seem and soon he is caught up in a web of dark magic and danger the likes of which he has never encountered before.

Dirk never wanted to end up on Zaroff's island. He'd cheated and lied, stolen and tricked, begged and crawled, all to save his own life, one payment at a time. But now the debt's come due, and Dirk missed his payments. He must muster every ounce of guile and strength at his disposal, must embrace the supernatural powers he'd struggled with for so long, must call upon allies both old and new to face the most terrifying foe a man can face. . . The consequences of his own actions. He doesn't know if he'll survive, but he won't go down without a fight.
