Resumen del Editor

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.

Unique, gritty urban fantasy

This is a fantastic entry into a new urban fantasy series. The narrator does a great job in bringing the series to life and keeps the pace moving and the suspense high. The story is gripping and entertaining. If you enjoy urban fantasy with honest characters that feels real, give this story a try.

Great!

Good plotting, interesting characters, well-thought out universe. Good performance by the narrator, also. Definitely recommend.

1935 multiverse fantasy period piece with Nazis

Dan Willis wrote an entertaining pre-WW2 gumshoe story that involves a different take on magic, something that is always interesting when done right and this was done right. The author got the lingo and the vernacular down fairly well but the narrator voice for the protagonist wasn't near gruff enough to pull off referring the his secretary as "doll". Even so, the story was written well and while magic was used, it was mostly in support of the crime solving plot line. There were several sub-plots that didn't reveal themselves immediately along with several twists to keep one guessing.

Vic Mignogna performance was very good except for the minor flaw mentioned above.

For those who like a little magic mixed in with your whodunit, you should find this an enjoyable listen.

This was fun!

Great story, a lot of characters and well written!
Enjoyed it. I will be downloading and listening to the entire series! follow the author on TikTok

Weak performance on main character.

love the story and the characters are interesting. the voice of the main character ,Alex, however, sounds like a nervous child. Not a detective that knows his business. Would be better if his voice was stronger.

Edward Elric is all I hear

The story was great everything really came together with great twist and surprises. Yhe main critique I have is the voice actor literally sounds like Edward elric from FMA and yes I know Vic is his actor but I couldn't listen to his voice and picture a 30 year old smoker hard boiled cop... otherwise great book

one hell of a great ride

the author knows how to build a world around a simple concept and keep you invested while providing enough Mysteries to keep you guessing

I am glad Mr. Willis finally got this narrated.

I have been enjoying this series since I first found. It has a good narration, Keep them coming please.

Awesome Book

I love the book it was fun to listen to. I thought the voice of Alex sounded very similar to the full metal alchemist which for me made it more enjoyable.

Another great Magical Noir style story.

I absolutely loved it. The narration was awesome, and the story itself had that gritty Cagney / Bogart feel, while still injecting some well timed humor.
