Das Leben von Nekromant Eric Carter läuft nicht gerade optimal. Seine unfreiwillige Heirat mit der Todesgöttin Santa Muerte verändert seine Kräfte. Zwar gelingen ihm einige Zauber jetzt mit einem Fingerschnippen, dafür hört er Stimmen, die er nicht hören sollte. Eric zweifelt an seiner Zurechnungsfähigkeit. Während er nach einem Weg sucht, das Band zwischen ihm und Santa Muerte zu lösen, wird er zur Zielscheibe eines Psychopathen, der das Aussehen und die Erinnerungen von Menschen stiehlt — und sich in ihre Haut kleidet. Erik hat alle Hände voll damit zu tun, seine eigene zu retten ...

Den nächsten Fall nimmt er besonders ernst: Carters Schwester wird ermordet, und er will den Schuldigen bezahlen lassen. War es ein Gangster, ein Magier - oder etwas noch viel Schlimmeres?
