Takes place shortly after the end of "Edge of Dawn".  Matthias Rowan (Sterling Chase's old friend from the Breeds' Enforcement Agency) is head of the Order's London operation.  He and his team uncover a string of corpses bearing a scarab tattoo on their hands and all of whom have been pulled out of the Thames River within a week's time.  The numerous tattoos on the latest victim sends Matthias to a local shop, where the artist, Nova, knows more than she's saying.  Before long, they're both entangled in something unexpected that neither is prepared for.It's a very suspenseful tale, and I completely guessed wrong on who the villain was.  Nova's traumatic past is brought up, but not fully resolved, which seems like a bit of a loose end to me.  Perhaps that will addressed in an upcoming book/novella (though I'm not sure if/how that could happen without it feeling contrived).  But since the whole purpose of the scarab gang isn't fully addressed, there might be room for completing Nova's story after all.It was a very good story, and one I'll be rereading again soon.  No complaints other than the somewhat abrupt ending, but I can live with that (especially if it get wrapped up later on).
