All Souls: Book Two of the Thunder & Shield Travelling Carnival Series (Volume 2)

The Thunder & Shield Travelling Carnival is set up in New Orleans, Louisiana in October of 1956, with hopes of bringing a little joy and merriment into the lives of its citizens. Soon, the three men who make up the carnival's "charity division" are approached by a group of young men who say their friend has been murdered and that the police are ignoring the crime. Mr. Atlas, the carnival's owner and aging strongman; Saul, the carnival's magician, whose abilities have little to do with sleight of hand; and Carny, a tattooed gypsy with a mysterious power all his own, agree to investigate the apparent killing. They quickly find that there is more to the case than they could have ever imagined. A local voodoo queen offers her assistance and with this new and strange ally they are thrown into battle against two formidable enemies. Throughout the struggle, it becomes evident that if the charity division fails to stop the evil that is taking place in New Orleans, the young men who came to them for help will surely perish, and possibly many, many more.
