New York homicide detectives James Manning and Covina ?Dewey? Duwai have been called in to investigate a string of bizarre deaths with scant leads.

They are real, and they are being murdered. Manning and Dewey must save the last of the Righteous Men from a killer who may or may not be supernatural and who won't stop until he has brought the whole world to an end.
