What Goes Around, Comes Around Still coming to terms with recent events, Alastair Stone is shocked when someone from his past—someone he still feels guilty he couldn’t save—resurfaces in his life with a desperate claim that he’s the only one who can help her. She may be right. He’d thought the Evil—extradimensional beings with a taste for human fear, misery, and rage—had settled down. But now it appears they’ve got a new plan—and a new leader. Stone and Verity go undercover to a tropical holiday paradise designed specifically with the Evil’s sadistic tastes in mind, hoping to discover who this new leader is and what they’re up to. But when the plan turns out to be far more ambitious—and far deadlier—than either of them had ever suspected, stopping it becomes more crucial than ever. If they fail, the Evil will gain a dangerous new foothold on the world. However, if they succeed, Stone could get access to resources he never thought possible. And he might need those resources, because some of his most powerful allies have stopped taking his calls.

R. L. King is the author of the Amazon-bestselling urban fantasy series The Alastair Stone Chronicles. When not doing her best to make life difficult for her characters, she works as a software technical writer for a large Silicon Valley database company. She also freelances for Catalyst Game Labs, publisher of the popular roleplaying game Shadowrun, where she's contributed fiction and game material to numerous sourcebooks and one full-length adventure, "On the Run," which was included as part of the 2012 Origins-Award-winning "Runners' Toolkit." Her first novel in the Shadowrun universe, "Borrowed Time," was published in Spring 2015. She's working on her second Shadowrun novel, "Veiled Extraction," which will be released in late 2016 or early 2017. When not writing or working, she enjoys hanging out with her very understanding spouse and her small herd of cats, and watching way too much Doctor Who.
