Three hundred people walked into a San Diego nightclub. At 11:47 p.m., every one died laughing.
Deputy Medical Examiner Dr. Nick Hayes knows what the official report will say.
Gas leak. Panic. Tragic accident.
But Nick has a gift no autopsy table can explain: when he touches the dead, he relives their final moments. The migraines, nosebleeds, and stolen terror are the price of listening. And the first victim he touches tells him the truth.
The Laughing Room wasn’t an accident.
Something beneath the club fed on them.
Now the city wants the case buried, the police want answers that fit in a report, and a hidden supernatural order wants Nick to stop asking questions before he tears open the lie keeping San Diego alive.
But the dead are still talking.
And this time, they are laughing.
The Laughing Room is a dark urban fantasy procedural for readers who like forensic mysteries, occult conspiracies, costly magic, and supernatural crimes hiding under the modern city.
