The night belongs to him and to a restless few with secrets of their own - like the woman he's tailing to San Francisco. Little does Jimmy realize that she's not trying to outrun him. In fact, she's luring him there, into the shadows of his own past - and a love affair that became a tragic obsession.
Her name is Lucy, and she is as ethereal as the descending fog. Her connection to Jimmy lies with a strange group called the Sailors. Jimmy knows all about them. They're one of the things that keep him up at night. Jimmy is about to plunge into a mystery that will force him to confront a rash of inexplicable murders, the strange truth about Lucy - and the lies of the past, which are far less frightening than the truth.
In The Quick, an International Horror Guild Award Nominee for Best First Novel, Dan Vining introduced an astonishing world peopled by "Sailors"-drifters between the worlds of the living and the dead, and one Sailor in particular, cynical private investigator Jimmy Miles. Now Jimmy is trailing a mysterious woman to San Francisco where he will confront his own tragic obsessions and troubling past, a seductive femme fatale, and the terrifying true mission of the Sailors.
