Lady of the Dead
by Jon F. Merz
(#26 in Lawson Vampire (Short Story))


Lady of the Dead
They call her La Calavera Catrina, the Lady of the Dead.

The evil, merciless ruler of a new vampire drug cartel operating south of the border, she is expanding her family's control over a large swath of Mexico and the Council wants her stopped by any means necessary.

That means sending in Lawson.

Alone and without backup, Lawson tracks the cartel leader to a remote valley where he learns the truth about La Calavera's rumored power: her ability to kill the immortal souls of those who oppose her. But will Lawson sell out the Council in order to save his own skin? Or will he come face-to-face with the terrifying reality of the Lady of the Dead and her band of bloodthirsty henchmen?
