Sinopsis

A hitman who can come back to life fully healed when killed but he is soon thrust into a supernatural adventure that will wreak mayhem over the five boroughs of New York

Given his line of work in the employ of a psychotic Brooklyn crime boss named Underwood, Trent finds himself on the wrong end of too many bullets. Yet each time he's killed he wakes a few minutes later completely healed of his wounds but with no memory of his past identity. Whats worse, each time he cheats death someone else dies in his place. Underwood's latest task seems simple at first: steal an old, antique box from some squatters in an abandoned warehouse near the West Side Highway. Trent soon finds himself stumbling into an age-old struggle between the forces of good and evil, opening his eyes to a secret world that shadows our own, a world where dangerous magic turns people into inhuman monstrosities, where impossible creatures hide in plain sight, and where the line between the living and the dead is never quite clear. And when the mysterious box is opened, he discovers he has only twenty-four hours to prevent an ancient, unstoppable force from destroying New York City.

NICHOLAS KAUFMANN lives in Brooklyn, New York with his wife and two catsone of which has special needs, the other of which only pretends to.
