Synopsis: "P. I. Teddy London is sent to Shanghai—for an unknown purpose. There a ghostly Chinese warrior lures him deeper into a seemingly answerless riddle. It points to something dark and deadldy coming for him, something no one has yet seen. A frustrated Teddy has no solutions. But perhaps his fledgling assistants in New York do. They've learned of a massive supernatural force moving towards Earth, a force beyond their worst fears ... The coming of the Apocalypse." — quoted from the Berkley Prime Crime mass-market paperback's back cover.
