In this second installment in the series, Decker works the case of Melvin Mars, a man who is granted an unexpected reprieve just hours before his planned execution.

Life in New York City is a huge adjustment for the teenager who, without his godly powers, is weak and disoriented. When his many enemies discover his vulnerability, he teams up with the modern demigods of Camp Half-Blood in an effort to regain his father’s favor and return to his rightful home.
