The Fear Merchants

Book excerpt: In The Fear Merchants, Secret Agent X finds himself fighting flame demons all across the city. Can he defeat the demons before it is too late? Excerpt: "HIGH UP, on the fourteenth floor of the big warehouse that faced the river, four men stole forward with the swift, silent steps of stalking ghouls. A wide corridor stretched before them, murky with night shadows, and dank with the dampness of neglect. The certainty of their movements as they passed along was grim proof that what they did had been carefully rehearsed. At the corridor's farther end a high window rose."
