Death's Avenger: The Malykant Mysteries, Volume 2 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789492824059)

Detective. Judge. Executioner.

Konrad Savast is the Malykant: foremost and most secret servant of the God of Death. His job? To track down the foulest of murderers and bring them to The Malykt's Justice. No mercy. No quarter.

The Corpse Thieves: Danil Dubin is a murderer. He knows this because he's been told -- by the many witnesses to his crime. Only, he has no memory of it himself. It's part of a spate of similar killings, and Konrad must act. But how can he deliver The Malykt's justice to a man with no reason to kill, and no knowledge of his crime?

The Spirit of Solstice: Solstice Eve, and Konrad is dragged from his bed to investigate the murder of a local wine merchant. The man's as dead as they come, but his spirit seems oddly unperturbed by his passing. Is it just the Solstice spirit, or is there something darker afoot?

The House at Divoro: Hauled away to a post-Solstice house party, Konrad is unenthusiastic. Their host might have a taste for theatricals, but Konrad emphatically does not. But when a corpse turns up, mutilated and hidden in a pantry cupboard, Konrad learns that the house at Divoro harbours many a dark secret...

Snowbound: Konrad may be finished with the coven at Divoro -- but are they finished with him? Forced to return to Divoro, Konrad does so with trepidation -- for murderers tend to run away from the Malykant, not towards. What dark purpose does the coven have in mind, and is he walking straight into a trap?

With four dangerous new cases to solve, Death's Avenger pits the Malykant against new challenges and darker foes.
