Description: Life in Brisbane is never simple for those who walk between the worlds. Veritys all about protecting her city, but right now thats mostly running surveillance and handling the less exciting cases for the Weyrd Council - after all, its hard to chase the bad guys through the streets of Brisbane when youre really, really pregnant. An insurance investigation sounds pretty harmless, even if it is for Unusual Happenstance. Thats not usually a clause Normals use - it covers all-purpose hauntings, angry genii loci, ectoplasmic home invasion, demonic possession, that sort of thing - but Susan Becketts claimed three times in three months. Her house keeps getting inundated with mud, but shes still insisting she doesnt need or want help . . . until the dry-land drownings begin. Vs first lead in takes her to Chinatown, where she is confronted by kitsune assassins. But when she suddenly goes into labour, its clear the fox spirits are not going to be helpful. Corpselight, the sequel to Vigil, is the second book in the Verity Fassbinder series by award-winning author Angela Slatter.
