THE BRIDE MUST BE STOPPED!
Some mysteries you don’t solve. You survive!
Thornton Thacker had never met a girl like Caroline Greer. It was love at first sight, and trouble thereafter.
Thacker is no stranger to trouble. He’s a trench coat-wearing teenage detective living in a city of shadows and sirens – a concrete jungle with more secrets than streetlamps, and he’s made a habit of chasing the ones that bite back.
A missing Egyptian mummy. Cryptic hieroglyphs. And a curse older than the concept of bad decisions. With his whip-smart sister and two best friends in tow, Thacker follows the trail from shadowy museum galleries to moonlit rooftops.
What they find isn’t just ancient – it’s angry.
And Caroline? She’s caught in the crosshairs of deadly supernatural forces.
Welcome to the Mean City!
Don’t mind the body count!
