A potent mix of gangsters and magic...gripping fantastical. - Publishers Weekly

Thoroughly entertaining...urban fantasy fans should be all over this one - Booklist

Mick Oberon...quickly becomes likeable, full of grumpy asides and funny turns of phrase. The mystery Oberon investigates is also good... Be warned: the resolution - and there is one - leaves several ends untied for sequels. - SFX

This is brilliant urban fantasy fiction, great fun for anyone who likes the genre and wants something a little different.
