Two novels in one trade volume.

There are so many mysteries hidden in the fog off the Pacific Coast. Jimmy Miles has been hired to solve them. But they're not the only things keeping him up at night...

In The Quick, an investigation into a long-ago murder leads to his discovery of the Sailors - restless strangers who roam the night, trapped between the world of the living and dead.

In The Next, still haunted by the Sailors, Jimmy becomes obsessed with a sudden rash of murders, and a never-forgotten love affair that may hold the clue to his future.
