Death Rites: An Urban Fantasy Thriller (The Lazarus Codex Book 1)

An ex-con necromancer. A bloody murder. Figures they’d blame the guy with the record.

For necromancer Lazarus Kerrigan, The Big Easy is anything but. Crime is up, incomes are down, and now his front door is a murder scene. Talk about a bad morning.

Since he’s the only ex-con around, the cops are ready to pin it all on him and call it a day. If he wants to clear his name, Lazarus will have to find the murderer. Fast. You’d think that’d be easy considering he can talk to the dead.

But more than monsters go bump in the night when the sun sets in New Orleans. The infamous Baron Samedi is back in town, and ready to offer Laz a new power he can’t refuse. At least, not if he wants to get out of this one alive.

Death Rites is the first book in the exciting urban fantasy series, The Lazarus Codex. If you like gritty action, snarky humor, and unique magic in a rich setting, then you'll LOVE E.A. Copen's Death Rites!
