It’s too late. The Umbra has been unleashed on Detroit, and Elena will need all the help she can get from an old friend if she’s going to succeed.
And stunningly, Elena discovers that she is truly unique, and has power beyond her imagination…
Readers can find ABBOTT & ABBOTT 1973 softcovers available everywhere books are sold. While investigating police brutality and corruption in 1970s Detroit, journalist Elena Abbott uncovers supernatural forces being controlled by a secret society of the city’s elite. In the uncertain social and political climate of the city, hard-nosed, chain-smoking tabloid reporter Elena Abbott investigates a series of grisly crimes that the police have ignored. Crimes she knows to be the work of dark occult forces. Forces that took her husband from her. Forces she has sworn to destroy.
