Fire Bearer, Esquire (Paperback)

Three women were dead with no clues in sight, and a guilty defendant walked the streets of Mobile once more. Ellery Brown, Deputy District Attorney, has reached a dead end on the Satanic Slasher serial killings investigation and lost faith in the jury system through an unjust "not guilty" verdict. She is ready to head home and call it quits for the week but her plans are interrupted when she stumbles upon a fight in a shadowy downtown alley. But this fight is unlike any she's ever seen before and leads her into a world of darkness and witchcraft, populated with subhuman ghouls and a power-hungry madman. With her case load piling up, Ellery concentrates on solving the gruesome murders that have been haunting the Bay area for months. But with the revelation that she is supposedly a member of the "Old Clan," her own roots become key in discovering how to defeat the evil invading her city. In the end, only Ellery can discover her power and stop the murders, but at what cost?
