Trouble is coming to the boil. The son of wealthy and ruthless populist politicians poses as an alcoholic to gain entry to Punanai House in this third book of the series. Lou Canon is a psychic catalyst. A lighting rod for unfocused supernatural energy. Peter and John’s mad plan to out hustle and out muscle death by throwing poltergeist into the light has unleashed forces beyond comprehension and drawn the kingdoms of heaven and hell near. Lou needs to be at the epicenter of this time quake but in order to do that he has to first pass himself credibly off as a drunk. No easy task in a house full of experts. A miasma with the power to loosen tongues and separate the living from their better judgement hangs like a storm cloud in the air. People lose their inhibitions and secrets they promised themselves they would take to their graves come spilling out.
