The Invoker

Descripción

There’s a shadow race that has existed alongside humanity for millennia. Carefully intermingled and yet separate, vampire society has evolved and prospered mainly thanks to the tireless work of Fixers -operatives trained to deal with any threat that might compromise the secret existence of their race

Lawson is a seasoned, cynical, and sarcastic Fixer assigned to the Boston area of operations. He bristles whenever he has to deal with the Council, the governing body of vampires who dispense the laws – and sanctions – that Lawson must enforce. And when those sanctions go wrong, bad things happen. Now Lawson’s got to protect the child of a man he just killed by mistake – a child with the awesome power to conjure the spirits of dead vampires.

But a scheming member of the Council wants absolute power and will stop at nothing to get it. Even if it means kidnapping a child. Aided by a traitorous former Fixer named Petrov, they launch a daring plan to get the child and use him for their own nefarious purposes

Now Lawson’s got one chance to rescue the kid – even if it means traveling halfway around the world to do it.

From the blood-slicked streets of Boston to the skyscraping Himalayas, the action never stops.

This is the second book in the bestselling Lawson Vampire series, a thrilling blend of crime, espionage, and magic that spans over 43 adventures to-date.
