On the Back
Cover:
"Nothing can get into the TARDIS," The Doctor
whispered. Then he realized that Nothing had.
New
Orleans, the early 21st century. A dealer in morbid artefacts has been
murdered. A charm carved from human bone is missing. An old plantation, miles
from any water, has been destroyed by a tidal wave.
Anji goes
dancing. Fitz goes grave-robbing. The Doctor attracts the interest of a
homicide detective and the enmity of a would-be magician. He wants to find out
the secret of the redneck thief and his blind wife. He'd like to help the
crippled curator of a museum of magic. He's trying to refuse politely the
request by a crazy young artist that he pose naked with the man's
wife.
Most of all, he needs to figure out what all of them have to
do with the Void that is hunting him down.
Before it
catches him. |
