Chapter 1
The monster boarded the train in Boston.
He found an unoccupied seat at the back of the rail car. Warm May air drifted in through the open window, along with the tang of burning coal. Men and women crowded the platform outside, the plumes in the women’s hats bobbing in the breeze.
A small girl tugged urgently on her mother’s skirts, demanding attention. The monster stiffened, expecting the woman to backhand the child. Instead, she smiled indulgently, bending down to better hear her offspring’s excited babbling.
“Pardon me,” said an affable voice practically in his ear.
He jumped, then cursed himself. Inattention wasn’t something he could afford, ever. Certainly not now, when so much hung on the outcome of this journey.
A smiling man, his face flushed from the heat, stood looking down at him. “Is this seat taken?”
He thought about lying, but he’d be caught out when no companion appeared. “No.”
The man stowed his suitcase, then dropped into the seat. “Dave Moore,” he said, thrusting out his hand.
“Vesper Rune.” Ves shook reluctantly, withdrawing his own hand as quickly as possible. The last thing he needed was a gregarious seatmate, but a quick glance around the car showed no other empty seats. It seemed he was trapped, at least until the next stop.
The train whistle screamed, and a few moments later, it lurched into movement. Ves turned to the window, suppressing a flinch as he caught a glimpse of dark hair and brown eyes reflected in the glass. Fortunately, his reflection was distorted, and he was able to look through it and pretend to be deeply interested in the passing scenery.

Résumé
Monsters. Murder. Librarians.
Librarian Sebastian Rath is the only one who believes his friend Kelly O’Neil disappeared due to foul play. But without any clues or outside assistance, there’s nothing he can do to prove it.
When bookbinder Vesper Rune is hired to fill the vacancy left by O’Neil, he receives an ominous letter warning him to leave. After he saves Sebastian from a pair of threatening men, the two decide to join forces and get to the truth about what happened to O’Neil.
But Vesper is hiding secrets of his own, ones he doesn’t dare let anyone learn. Secrets that grow ever more dangerous as his desire for Sebastian deepens.
Because Kelly O’Neil was murdered. And if Sebastian and Ves don’t act quickly enough, they’ll be the next to die.
