Summary

When a magical plague is released in a Depression-era New York soup kitchen, private detective Alex Lockerby finds himself in a desperate hunt to catch a madman before he can strike again.

His investigations lead Alex to a famous thief, a daring heist, and the search for a mythic book of ancient magic, but none of that brings him any closer to finding the man responsible for the massacre. With the police and New York’s Council of Sorcerers desperate to find the culprit, Alex becomes a suspect himself, thanks to his ties to the priest who ran the soup kitchen.

Now Alex has his book of spells, a pack of matches and four days to find out where the plague came from, or that authorities will hang the crime squarely on him.

A pleasant change of theme

I have always liked the old P.I. genre, though I haven't read as much of it as I should. This story blends the genre with magic, predominantly Rune Magic in an intriguing way. I am glad I tried the audiobook.

Wonderfully entertaining

I was not sure what to expect of this book, as they say never justge a book by the cover and that is exactly what I did. I then read the blurb and enjoyed the hook.

I was apprehensive of the narrator for the first 5 minutes but was rapidly won over by his smoth eloquent tones and wonderful style.

the story took me on a thoroughly enjoyable roller coaster of twists and tursn with some ingenious theories and creations whilst also littering the works with historical truths.

Well done

The story was intriguing. It was well layered with several plot twists.
The narrator did a very good job at voicing the different characters.
This urban fantasy/steampunk book was well worth it. I will be buying the next in the series.
