By: Dan Willis

Private detective Alex Lockerby never expected to be the prime suspect in a high profile murder case. But when the police find him standing over a body with his fingerprints on the murder weapon, he rapidly jumps to the top of their list.

Despite being released on bail, Alex's reputation and business are under attack by mysterious forces. As he fights to clear his name, Alex is pulled into a dangerous world of counterfeiting, murder, and mobsters. With the help of his mentor, his trusty assistant, and a few unexpected allies, Alex races against time to unravel this twisted web of lies and uncover the culprit behind it all.

As the truth comes to light, however, Alex must come to grips with the possibility that this case may be his last.

The evolving detective

I love how the story leaves you begging for more and shows that the protagonist is more than his power.

Good fun.

I always enjoy these adventures. Please keep them coming. Also bravo on the performance.

Deeper and Deeper we go

This book continues the slow but inexorable craw towards this alt history version of WWII. Looking forward to seeing how Alex evolves due to the ending of the book.

More and more

Great character development and multilayered plots. Dan Willis does a great job with each case being separate but still advancing the main plots.

The series continues.

I have really enjoyed this series until now. It felt like it was trying to hard to be clever. Will try again next time.

I was left speechless!

I am a longtime fan of the Arcane Casebook and Arcane Irregulars series. I had so many theories of what was going on . . . only 2 were partially correct. This is the first time I had to put a book in time out because I was mad at a character. These characters really pull you in and make you feel like you part of their world. Dan Willis . . . hats off to you sir.
