Publisher Description

Ray Lilly is living on borrowed time. He’s the driver for Annalise Powliss, a high-ranking member of the Twenty Palace Society, a group of sorcerers devoted to hunting down and executing rogue magicians. But because Ray betrayed her once, Annalise is looking for an excuse to kill him–or let someone else do the job.

Unfortunately for both of them, Annalise’s next mission goes wrong, leaving her critically injured. With the little magic he controls, Ray must complete her assignment alone. Not only does he have to stop a sorcerer who’s sacrificing dozens of innocent lives in exchange for supernatural power, he must find–and destroy–the source of that inhuman magic.

BONUS: This edition contains excerpts from Harry Connolly's Game of Cages and Twenty Palaces.

The man can write

I stumbled onto this a few years back and went on to read the entire series of four. Very tense, well written and soundly plotted. Hard to put down and utterly readable. Connoly deserves a larger audience.

Cthulhu meets Spenser

If you are a fan of noir detective fiction and horror, then this is right up your alley. I'd compare to the Dresden Files, but the humor is gallows, not fanboy.
