Nine-Tenths of the Law (Nine Lives Series Book 1)
A doomed killer€s cryptic warning, an ancient Japanese book on the occult, a family of Italian witches, a mannequin that can€t be destroyed, the murderous spirit of a dead child.
Detective Ben Ricci is not a believer. Everything must have a logical explanation, including the brutal murder of Fabrizio Lecanto. All he needs is a broken alibi or compelling motive. Instead he has unreliable testimonies, all telling the same dubious ghost story.
It€s bad timing for Ricci. He€s under investigation, struggling to save his marriage and shamefully obsessed with a key witness. To find the killer, he€ll need to control his many compulsions. Unfortunately self-control has never been Ben€s strong suit.
As the killer€s evil intent becomes clear, one cop€s stubborn cynicism will challenge the demented zeal of believers, shedding unwanted light on a society€s darkest secrets.
