Pound of Flesh

Arcane Casebook, Book 10

By: Dan Willis

Narrated by: Alex Knox

One of the first things a private detective learns is that people have secrets, and people with important secrets attract trouble.

When a young woman is brutally murdered in a back alley, the police quickly turn to Alex Lockerby to help them. Hampered by the fallout from his own secrets, Alex goes to work, only to find that the victim in this case had secrets of her own, starting with her identity.

As Alex tries to trace the origins of the mysterious murder victim, a woman comes to his office, begging Alex’s help because she believes the new house she’s purchased is haunted. When Alex investigates the house, he finds that even it holds a secret, one that someone is willing to kill to keep.

With political pressure mounting to solve the murder of the nameless woman, and the tabloids blaming the police for the lack of progress, Alex finds himself caught in a web of secrets, lies, and murder that he might not be able to escape from. Can Alex bring a violent maniac to justice while, at the same time, stopping a methodical killer determined to bury the past forever?

Insanely Incredible

Oh my HECK! This book was absolutely amazing. Highly highly recommend!! **read in order** you will love it

Another Great Book in the Arcane Casebook Series

This book, like all the others in this series, is the perfect blend of Detective Noir and Urban Fiction. This book sees Alex temporarily unable to work magic himself, depending on the magic of his friends and Sorsha to help him solve three cases. It's fast paced and fun, with lots of witty dialog and fun noir tropes. it's also one of the first times that s book has made me crave a hot dog.

everything!

I absolutely love this series and this book proves that the main character can survive without using magic which is character development at its finest! I seriously cannot wait until the next one what a cliffhanger

Fantastic Ride

After a very good story that you this winding up and suddenly... what you thought was the smooth end to the ride, you suddenly realize that the roller-coaster has just hit the very top of the last hill. Hang on!

awesome series

can't wait for the next book! love the character development and the narrator. I listen as much as any top listeners on this site.
