Another ordinary retiree, right? Wrong. Like Jimmy, George is more than he seems to be. He too has a link to the supernatural. He too has saved the world. Then there's Professor Foxfire--also known as Deadlight Jack. Dressed in the garb of a stage magician, he seems a figure of magic and fun. But he isn't fun at all. He isn't even human. And his magic is of the darkest and bloodiest kind. When George's grandson vanishes on a family vacation to the Louisiana bayou, George and Jimmy fly across the country to aid in the search. Once they arrive, family feuds and buried secrets bring George face-to-face with the ghosts of a forgotten past; Jimmy finds his powers wilting under the humid Southern sun; and deep in the swamp, Deadlight Jack prepares his long-awaited revenge.
