By Mike Carey and Macelo Frusin

- John tells Gemma (and Domine Fredericks) about some of their family's history; Gemma loves the story but doesn't love what her uncle wants her to do, leave DF
- Clarice Sackville sends the demon she summoned to DF's place to retrieve the RS; the demon wrecks a lot of havoc but in the end is stopped
- the demon's attack gives John a chance to contact Map but doesn't get much in the way of help from him
- once the demon has been dispatched DF's right hand man takes a couple of his men plus John to hunt down Clarice and friends

- this story gets better the further I get into it: loved the family history and the uneasy alliances
- the book (or maybe it's just this story) reminds of what I assume BPRD must be like
- the art of Marcelo Frusin is killer and Lee Loughridge does a spectacular job with the colors
- I love the look of the demon and the action sequences are beautifully detailed
