~ SEQUEL TO Cross ~ Something strange is going on in New York. First, the robbery of twenty tonnes of fireworks leaves the police baffled. Now, someone is kidnapping and brutally murdering teenage girls. The only clue they have is a sentence one of the victims survived long enough to pass on to the police - "10:30, the day before yesterday". Col. Jackson Brown is sending Dani Tamari and David Cross to New York, because they spent the most time around the De Mons, and would be able to recognise them. Now Dani's in a city she knows nothing about, surrounded by people she knows nothing about. Someone has a score to settle with Dani and David over how the two of them almost destroyed their plans. And they've got the President on their side. Cover by @PinkParisianPrincess

Prohibition hangs over New York like a nauseating smog. Most partygoers escape its presence by getting lost in speakeasies set up around corners of the streets, in basements, attics, etcetera. The more desperate—young or old, rich or poor—flock to the speakeasies run by demons. Their liquor holds more than just alcohol, it contains a dangerous power that causes the drinker to become lost within their own mind, living out their fantasies—if only for the night. Robert Hermann is part of a group of men that are supposed to bust these demonic "Dreamwhisps". However, after a fatal incident, he finds himself working for one of them. Now he must obey every order, every job that the powerful and charming Mr. Russell gives him. Failure to do so could lead him on a train to Hell; both physically and mentally.
