Tom Whalen is a bad cop. Corrupt, strung out and under investigation by Internal Affairs, he's about to go down for the count. But when a drug deal goes bad, he wakes up in Bellevue with a police chaplain by his bed, offering him a last chance at redemption: join a secret unit of the NYPD that no one knew existed, protecting the city from the things no one believes exists. Irish banshees, Jewish Golems, Voodoo zombies... the superstitions of all the immigrant groups who ever passed through New York City are real, and the only thing between them and the unsuspecting people of New York is Tom Whalen and a very unique team of cops. But the forces of darkness are gathering, and Tom Whalen is about to discover that the greatest battle he ever fought will be the battle for his immortal soul.
