Detective Terry Lane is a standout homicide cop who thought he’d seen it all … until now.

Lane has seen the darkest side of human behavior but he’s never seen a murder spree like this, targeting the wealthy, the powerful, and the privileged. For the evidence is clear: the killers have not emerged from the seamy underside of the city … but from six feet under it. They are the walking dead, spreading terror and showing no mercy.

Following a trail of drugs, blackmail, and the twisted clues of a seductive nightclub singer, Detective Lane will have to think outside the box … or he could end up inside one, buried alive.

Performers: R.F. Daley (narrator), Jennifer Aspen, Matt Scott, John Mariano, and Jim Meskimen.

“A rollicking horror yarn [that] taps into the current craze for zombies.… heart-pounding.” —Publishers Weekly

* An International Book Awards Winner
