"Beware the shadow of many faces, but fear the master of many places.... It's Monday morning, and I've recovered a strange glyph-covered chest from a landfill. By Monday afternoon, someone's stolen it from my warded loft. Before I can suss out who, why, and most importantly how, I'm neck-deep with the NYPD on a murder case. A bigshot CEO is dead in his penthouse, his kidneys harvested in a way that screams black magic. Only there's no magic in evidence. The two crimes connect somehow, and the key may be an old explorer's club in the heart of Manhattan. But this mage needs to get moving. More victims are turning up sans organs, and twice now I've found myself in a shadow realm - a darker, more dangerous version of the city, where a mysterious entity wants me dead. And here I thought the summer's biggest chore would be persuading my succubus cat to play nice with my wife. Spoiler alert: She's still Tabitha." -- Amazon.com.
