Detective Maya Lin thought she had seen every brand of sociopath New York City could drag through an intake cell, but nothing in the NYPD patrol guide prepared her for Luke Morningside. Lounging in bespoke silk, nursing centuries-old scotch from a dead mobster's private cellar, and casually claiming to be the Lord of the Pit, he treats active crime scenes like cocktail parties and arrests like mild social inconveniences. Maya pegs him immediately as a trust-fund narcissist with high-end delusions and an internet connection. But when Fifth Avenue's traffic gridlock snaps into an impossible, synchronized mandala and a string of routine mob murders yields corpses with calcified bones and glowing azure ash, Maya is forced to confront a reality that defies municipal forensics: Manhattan's criminal underworld isn't just corrupt-it is conducting ancient, necrotic blood rites beneath the streets. And the exasperating, impeccably tailored entity in her holding tank might be the only consultant capable of reading the handwriting on the wall.
Forced into an uneasy partnership under a ridiculous municipal retainer agreement, Maya finds herself dragged into a shadow war where high finance meets predatory sorcery. Real estate mogul Dan Callahan is quietly assembling a metaphysical conduit across the island, siphoning the collective anxiety and dread of eight million citizens through subway lines, pre-war bakeries, and luxury high-rises to power a dark ascension. To complicate matters, Maya's protocol-obsessed ex-fiancé, FBI Special Agent Michael Andrews, is hovering with federal submachine guns and bureaucratic subpoenas, determined to file Luke under national security threats and drag Maya into suburban safety. From rooftop snipers unexpectedly disarmed by party poppers to subway tunnels humming with celestial frost and demonic shadow swarms detonating into celebratory confetti, Maya and her impossible partner must wage an unhinged, high-stakes campaign to keep the city from falling into the abyss.
Yet as the conspiracy escalates toward a catastrophic ritual atop a seventy-two-story Midtown tower, the most dangerous element in the five boroughs isn't Callahan' blood magic-it is the electric, desk-rattling attraction igniting between the mortal detective and the First Fallen. Luke has spent millennia masking an ancient, suffocating loneliness behind theatrical arrogance, while Maya has used procedural cynicism as armor against the world. But when the bullets fly and the city goes dark, Luke realizes he is willing to tear up the laws of heaven and earth-and set his own bespoke loafers ablaze-to keep Maya breathing. In a metropolis where greed is an ancient curse and salvation tastes like black coffee and street-corner carnitas, the Detective and the Devil must decide whether their chaotic alliance will save Manhattan or burn their carefully guarded worlds to the ground.

Standard Business Terms and customer information
I. Standard business terms
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following terms and conditions of business apply for all contracts concluded with us as the supplier (preigu GmbH & Co. KG) via the websites AbeBooks and/or ZVAB. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of your own terms and conditions is explicitly rejected.

Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
