City of the Dead Greg Jolley

Jayden has just seven nights to rescue her ownership of the Cimetière du Dernier Vol. cemetery in the backwaters of Northern Florida, by any means necessary, including murder. Welcome to her world, where life among the dead goes on forever.




Jayden has the means, and certainly knows the ways. But the clock is ticking. On the seventh night, the annual Grand Soirée is to be held. If she can pull it off, her future is secure. The problem is the four chairs that she must fill as her part of the event, a planned money-making scheme involving a grim act of necromancy. Four messengers will be put to death and sent over to acquire lucrative market knowledge for the attending gullible investors. Can anyone stop her?




Two escaped victims are trying. April Danser and her twelve-year-old criminal partner Kazu, both mangled and frightened, have only a few nights to derail Jayden's deadly train of murder and madness. At times teaming up with other residents of the cemetery - a ghastly cast of recluses - April and Kazu are in the fight of their lives, not only to end Jayden's deadly plans, but also to survive her repeated attacks.




Taking place during seven nights in the once famous cemetery, City of the Dead is a dance between good and evil with everything at risk, including life and sanity.
