Sinopsis

How do you solve a murder when the victim clawed his own throat open—and the killer has been dead for three thousand years?

When night watchman Higgins is found dead with thin, pulsing black veins branching across his face, hard-boiled P.I. Rex "Ace" Vance knows it isn't decay—it’s a harvest. Someone has desecrated the Grand Museum's newest Egyptian exhibit, destroying a gold-leafed sarcophagus to steal a living, parasitic organism known as the Breath of Set.

Partnering with a grizzled dockworker and an eccentric professor, Ace races through the city's rain-slicked docks, underground tea houses, and explosive shootouts. Standing in his way is a shadowy cult leader determined to unleash an ancient biological nightmare upon the unsuspecting city. With the clock ticking toward midnight and a trail of fanatic cultists on his tail, Ace must use raw steel, hot lead, and sheer stubbornness to stop the disaster before millions fall.
