Dark Pursuits 02-A Friend of a Friend

The dead don't sleep, and neither will you. For fifteen years, Abel Ease has hidden in Sunny Acres Asylum, keeping his demons locked away. But when a distant cousin arrives claiming to share his cursed gift—the ability to see what others can't—his careful isolation begins to crack. As ritualistic murders shock the nation, FBI Agent Emi Laurens can't shake the feeling that something darker lurks behind the bloodshed. Something that whispers from shadows and wears familiar faces. The walls between reality and nightmare are thinning. Ancient debts demand payment. And for Abel, the greatest horror isn't the evil hunting him—it's the possibility that his family's darkest secrets were never meant to stay buried. What happens when the only person who understands your curse is the one who might destroy you? Can Abel face the truth about his bloodline before more innocents pay the price of his family's sins? Some gifts are curses. Some curses are destiny. And some fates are worse than death.
