Hot Lead, Cold Iron
Acerca de este libro electrónico
Chicago, 1932. Crime and corruption rule. From the gutter to the Gold Coast, the city has more dirty dealings than a sticky-fingered card sharp. A man would have to be crazy to go up against that kind of muscle.
But PI Mick Oberon is no man. He's a self-exiled fae prince who left the Otherworld for reasons he'd rather not go into. In the mortal realm, he's a tough-talking, hard-hitting gumshoe packing a quick wit and a large-caliber magic wand. And, boyo, is he ever gonna need them both.
Because his newest client is the wife of a heavy-duty mob honcho. She wants Mick to find her daughter, who it turns out was pilfered and replaced with a changeling sixteen years ago. And she wants the investigation kept on the hush hush.
Which is strange, because suddenly it seems like everyone and their uncle already has their eyes on Mick's prize. From rival gangsters to the lowest of lowlifes to their even more lethal counterparts in the Otherworld, a lot of people and non-people want Mick out of the picture before he solves the mystery. Unfortunately for all of them, Mick Oberon doesn't know the meaning of the word "quit."
But with this case, he might want to break out the dictionary before he gets killed...
Praise for Hot Lead, Cold Iron:
"In this gripping fantastical investigation, Marmell creates an engaging world and an unlikely hero [...] The potent mix of gangsters, magic, Fae politics, and a strega on the warpath makes for a ride that never touches the brakes. Marmell expertly maximizes the thrills, leaving the reader with a lingering desire for a magic wand and a glass of warm milk." — Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
