Alex Rose, a thief haunted since boyhood by the  ghosts of his past as well as the ghosts of people who have passed away,  is trying to get out of the game. But to do that he needs to pull off  one final score.

Raised in the margins of San Diego by his charming but troubled father  A.J., Alex grows up seeing what others can’t. Spirits follow him.  Secrets shape him. Under the mentorship of the dangerous David Moreau,  he learns the art of the con and just how deep the darkness goes.

A near-death encounter with a ravenous apparition and a doomed romance  with Moreau’s daughter, Jenny—who sees ghosts of her own—leave him  scarred but searching for redemption.

When he finds love with Korey, a woman untouched by his past, Alex  finally sees a way out. But one last heist—tied to a deadly contagion  and a force known only as the Firstborn of Death—could cost him  everything.
