The pervs and freaks seem to be winning but the deal is they never counted on Mel Thompson. Not just any shamus or private dick, Mel has a certain, shall we say, connection to another place down under but it's not Australia. The clock is ticking for Mel to solve the case because the deeper he gets into it, the better the odds that he's going to get his block knocked off, and then it's not just curtains, but a one-way ticket back to Hell for the...

Annabelle was born immaculately, coming from a place of dreams and memories into the corporeal world, a Gemini or doppelganger of the ever popular Chelsea Clarke. She was meant to remain in secret.

My cases aren’t like normal cases. I find the secrets the occult world is likely to kill you for. Quit halfway and you step into oblivion, misjudge and you might lose your mind. Paranoia is an occupational hazard. They say all roads lead to Rome and, in this case, so do all my clues. Nestled deep within the Vatican clergy—guarded by something with more tricks than Harry Houdini and possessing the moral conscience of a snake—are the answers I’ve been looking for, so long as I am willing to trade my soul.

Add to that bouts of phantom pain, a keen taste for alcohol and a broken heart and he's going to have one hell of a time staving off the end of the world. Or, perhaps, causing it.

"Prizm is one fantastic novel. It starts mundane, then gets wild, with truly awful werebears and challenging alien cultures. How do Amazons reproduce? Violently! How do you control the leader you assign? You make a clone, and replace it if it gets ideas. Things make savage sense."—Piers Anthony "Prizm takes the most awesome elements of many of the major blockbuster sci-fi and fantasy movies in the last twenty years and gives them a dazzling spin! Were-monsters, ruthless villains, Amazon warrior women, runaway clones, and take-no-prisoners Scotsmen are just the start." --M.B. "Don't let ...
