About this ebook
Henry Billingsly, brother of millionaire Frederick Billingsly, is found dead with a gun in his hand. The police are convinced it was suicide, but Frederick is unconvinced and has evidence that points to magic-assisted murder. Desperate for help, he turns to someone who specializes in cases involving magic - private investigator Rick Walker.An indulging lover of scotch and women, the smooth-talking Rick is also a darn good private eye. With the reluctant help of the foul-mouthed demon Beluosis, Rick searches for the pieces of the puzzle regarding Henry's death. Was it murder? Is Rick's life now at stake? And will he solve the case in time to pay his overdue rent?
The novella Dark City, Dark Magic is the first installment of "Mystery, Murder, and Magic", a three-part story chronicling the continuing adventures of Rick Walker.

Why 4 out of 5 stars? The story needed to be longer! This is great stuff, conjuring black and white Bogie movies with gorgeous dames with black hearts and killer intentions. Dive in. Bring your bottom shelf bottle and hard bitten attitude with a well concealed soft spot for old friends - and magical mayhem.

This is a funny, classic gumshoe story with classy dames and red lipstick, maids in skimpy outfits, oh and a demon of course.
