Every detective has his demonsâbut Insp. Nicolas Lenoir is being hunted by his in this Gaslamp urban fantasy debut: A âdefinite winnerâ (Fresh Fiction). Once a legend in Kennianâs Metropolitan Police, Insp. Nicolas Lenoir learned the hard way that justice can be bought. Now he spends more time drinking than helping his hard-working partner, Sgt. Bran Kody, investigate their current assignment: a string of missing corpses. But when a young orphan informant goes missing, Lenoir cannot sit idly by any longer. Tangling with body snatchers, witchdoctors, and necromancers, Lenoir and Kody must also face a far more dangerous threatâone that has returned from Lenoirâs past: the Darkwalker. Ten years ago, Lenoir barely escaped the Darkwalkerâs clutches, but the immortal champion of the dead never forgets a debt, and Lenoir always knew his would come due one day. His time is upâjust when he needs it most. âTettensor crafts a tale that makes you think even while you shudderâa delightful combination. Darkwalker is brilliant!â âFresh Fiction
