Synopsis
Once, while half-human Cal Leandros and his brother Niko were working a case, an ancient gypsy queen gave them a good old-fashioned backstabbing, and they barely made it out alive. Now, with their private investigation business teetering on insolvency, she turns up with a job involving a coffin. Cal would rather help her into one, but the coffin contains an evil known as the Plague of the World, which makes the Black Death look like a fond memory, and the brothers cannot afford to let it loose.
