Most spies take a break for the holidays, but not me, Charlotte Locke. As an analyst for Section 47, a secret spy organization, I normally use my magical form of synesthesia to uncover lies and track paramortal criminals from the comfort of my cubicle. But tonight I’m going out into the field, along with my partner, Desmond Percy, a powerful galvanist. Instead of enjoying Christmastime in the city, I’m in a German castle, dressed like a toy soldier and masquerading as a waitress at a swanky Christmas Eve party.

I'm caught between the devil and the deep-blue serial killer. Well, he's more green than blue. He's also a lizard maniac determined to take over all of Hell. And with Taj fatally wounded, X kidnapped, and Dev so weak he's in a coma, I'm more than caught. I'm falling apart—and so are Ark and Joseph.

Gunslinger Matthew Slade and his friend, Captain Amos Harding, take up a plea for help from the fledgling wine country to the north. As soon as the two would-be investigators arrive, they find themselves up to their spurs in trouble. Slade learns that the Napa Valley’s primed like a powder keg to blow over a dispute between a winery, a cattle ranch, and the railroad. What are the stakes? Land, pride, the loss of one man’s woman, and the love of another’s wife. With every person lying through their teeth and primed to kill, Slade and Amos have their work cut out for them.

San Francisco’s a boomtown awash in money, with Victorian-style bawdy houses and a loose sense of the law. Enter Matthew Slade. Formerly the Pinkerton Detective Agency’s best investigator, tracker, and gun-hand. Upon his arrival, Slade rescues Mai Lee, a little Chinese girl, from a pair of thugs intent on kidnapping her. The girl’s wanted by Huang Sun, the leader of the dominant tong—a crime syndicate that runs opium dens, fan-tan parlors, and prostitution in the city.
