Jace’s return to Kansas is an instant reminder that there really is no place like home. The tavern is still brimming with losers, practical jokers, and motorcycle chicks. Even the town’s only Goth is still wearing eyeliner. But just as Jace is about to click her heels and hightail out of there, she’s roped into a brand-new case. Somebody is possessed. And the bodies are piling up…
They call him the Gallowsman. According to legend, he was sentenced to hang—though his crimes still have not been specified. When he was strung up to die, his spirit stuck around waiting for people to hang themselves…so he could steal their bodies. Now, with the undead rising up and going on a rampage, Jace must put her own neck on the line. Can she get the Gallowsman to give up the ghost?

Cindy's Review...
When I first started reading this book (#6 in this wonderful series) I kept thinking "what the he!! is going on?" I went and pulled the others in the Bloodhound Files and still couldn't figure out why our kicka$ FBI agent is working as a crazy waitress. As I got further into the book I caught on (duh) that Jace is in another (parallel) universe playing out someone's else's "Hell on Earth" designed specifically to torture her. When the evil person is found dead, the spells start to unravel In the most bizarre way imaginable. Now Jace must bring to her way of thinking all the people she knows from the other universe. What fun: the crazy lady trying to explain away the horrific deaths that occur after she has been near the victims. All Jace wants is for things to return to normal or as near as she can get. My favorite quote from this edition: "Sure, great, fantastic. Hey, did I lend you my ruby slippers at some point? 'Cause I can't find 'em anywhere."
