The Man Who Would Be Coyote (The Shade Trilogy Series Book 2)

Upon Lucien and Willem's return to San Francisco after annihilating the Burning Man entity in Bratislava, Emerald abruptly leaves for New Orleans 'for healing' setting into motion an avalanche of events first on the Apache reservation within the Arizona desert in the dead of night as Willem confronts the ghastly Coyoteman, a black shaman terrorizing the people of the village. He must make amends (for inadvertently freeing him) by bringing the vile and caustic man/creature back from the wilds or die trying. In the second story, THE FRENCH WITCH, he journeys with Morgan to New Orleans to discover the secret about the Burning Man from the ghost of a young woman dead for nearly half a century. In the third story CONCRETE AND STEEL, Willem returns to NYC and reveals the truth about Morgan's sudden and mysterious departure, to her wildly spirited musician friend Georgiana Snipes (see: THE WICKER WOMAN c.2018.) In THE WOMAN IN BLUE, Willem is pulled back to the Karras & Corbeaux offices in Soho, London for an assignment in Amsterdam, a mystery concerning an old portrait possessed by its subject. From Amsterdam it's off to Nice, France (THE SCHIZOPHRENIC DAUGHTER) and Villa Satana, the ancient and decrepit villa of Anton Corbeaux, overlooking the Cote-de-Azure, where Willem is reacquainted with Emerald's younger daughter Audrey (THE PROFOUND ART OF OMENS) and thrown into the chaos of a bizarre and harrowing encounter. In the final story THE DAMNED, Willem returns to New Orleans to declare his love to Morgan only to learn she has become hopelessly lost within the Louisiana bayou. He desperately struggles to extract her from the clutches of the Isle-du-Mort and the black soulless creatures that inhabit this horrid and marked place; forever scarred by the murder of persons of color during the Jim Crow era.
